The first step is determining how much you need to save and then figuring out how you’re going to get there. If you’d like help, stop by your local banking center. A Fifth Third Investment Professional will work with you to determine your goals and explore your investment options. Or, get started now with one of these retirement planning calculators to estimate your savings goal.
Your Investment Options
There are several ways to go when it comes to investing in your retirement: Two examples are an IRA (Individual Retirement Account) or a 401 (k). An IRA is basically a retirement savings account with big tax breaks. It can be made up of stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other assets. At Fifth Third, we offer both a Traditional IRA and a Roth IRA. IRA’s are way to pass your savings on to the ones you love.
Maximizing Savings
A smart withdrawal strategy can help minimize taxes and penalties. When you start saving, choose your withdrawal options carefully because you might not be able to change them later. Early retirement, lump-sum payments, and required minimum withdrawals require know-how and planning to get the maximum return.
Risk and Return
Maybe you’d like to include income producing investments or protect your savings from market swings. A Fifth Third Securities Investment Professional can help you design the right asset allocation strategy for you.
