Build Your Retirement with Confidence

Take Control of Your Retirement with an IRA Savings Account Designed to Build Long-Term Wealth

Vantage West IRAs and IRA Certificate of Deposit (CD) accounts accounts give you a secure way to save for retirement while providing you with potential tax benefits. Choose from Premium Share IRAs or IRA Certificates, available as Traditional or Roth, each designed to help you maximize your long-term financial goals.

A Stronger Future Begins Today

Traditional Roth

Contributions may be tax-deductible; earnings grow tax-deferred1.

No income limits, available to all eligible earners.

Often ideal if you expect to be in a lower tax bracket in retirement.

Your contributions grow tax-free1 throughout the years. When you withdraw the money after age 59.5, the money gets taxed as income.

Roth IRA

Contributions are after-tax; qualified withdrawals are tax-free1.

Withdraw contributions (not earnings) penalty-free, offering flexibility.

Subject to income limits: must earn under $161,000 (single) or $240,000 (joint).

A strong fit if you expect higher income later. Keep in mind: you must wait five years after your first contribution before withdrawing contributions penalty-free.

Retirement Certificate (CDs)

Fixed rates for 18-month or 3-year terms.

Higher earning potential than variable-rate IRA savings.

Automatic rollover at maturity for continued growth.

Available with either Traditional or Roth IRA tax treatments1.

How Do I Choose the Right IRA Savings Account?

Income Limits
Roth IRAs have income caps, while Traditional IRAs are open to anyone with eligible earned income.

Future Tax Bracket Expectations1
A Traditional IRA can be beneficial if you expect lower taxable income in retirement.
A Roth IRA may be stronger if you anticipate higher income or tax rates later.

Timing & Flexibility
Roth IRAs allow penalty-free withdrawals of contributions (not earnings) after five years.
Traditional IRAs restrict withdrawals until 59½ without penalty.

Lifestyle Considerations
Many retirees experience lower expenses, which may influence their tax bracket, and the best IRA choice.

Simple Rule of Thumb
If you exceed Roth income limits, a Traditional IRA is your only option.
If long-term flexibility matters most, a Roth may be the better fit.
