With an IRA, you’re able to save for retirement with tax advantages. IRAs allow you to choose among investment options like mutual funds, individual securities, and annuities.
There are two common types of IRAs: traditional and Roth; each has different eligibility requirements, contribution limits, and tax benefits.
Both traditional and Roth IRAs allow you to choose from a range of investment options. Your IRA can hold mutual funds , annuities , and individual securities like stocks, bonds, and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) .
Investors should only consider buying an annuity to fund an IRA for the annuity’s additional features, such as lifetime income payments, living benefits, and death benefit protection, since annuities do not provide any additional tax advantages when used to fund a qualified plan, such as an IRA.
