At Liberty Bay, we offer three unique investment options to help you plan for your future. Our investment accounts have no annual fees, and all contributions and earnings are insured in full!
Traditional IRAs*
A Traditional IRA can be a powerful tool in creating a balanced, long-term savings plan, offering tax-deferred earnings as well as tax-deductible contribution options.
You can invest up to $6,500 per year in a Traditional IRA account (or up to $7,500 if you are 50 or older).
You are eligible for penalty-free withdrawals from your Traditional IRA once you are age 59½ or older. Once you reach age 70½, you must take a required minimum distribution (RMD) every year.
Roth IRAs*
A Roth IRA offers more incentives to boost your retirement savings. Unlike Traditional IRAs, contributions to a Roth IRA are never tax-deductible. However, the money in your Roth IRA, including earnings, can be withdrawn tax-free.
You can invest up to $6,500 per year in a Roth IRA account (or up to $7,500 per year if you are 50 or older).
You are eligible for tax-free earnings withdrawals from your Roth IRA once you are age 59½ or older and the money has been in the account for at least 5 years. There are no mandatory withdrawals, and you can continue to invest in a Roth IRA no matter your age as long as you have earned income and meet the income limits.
Coverdell Education Savings Account (ESA)*
Coverdell ESAs help you pay for your child’s education expenses, such as tuition, fees, books, supplies, equipment, and in some cases, room and board and computers. Coverdell ESAs offer tax-free distributions and, unlike Section 529 plans, can be used for elementary and high school expenses at most public, private, and parochial schools.
