Individual Retirement Plans

Roth IRA
A Roth IRA is a personal savings account that offers tax benefits to encourage you to save for your retirement. Contributions are made with money that has already been taxed. Like an IRA, your earnings grow tax deferred until withdrawn. A Roth IRA may offer greater tax savings and withdrawal flexibility than a Traditional IRA.
