In the economic maze that is personal finance, one of the most significant decisions one faces revolves around retirement accounts. With several options available, from IRAs to 401(k)s and beyond, how can an individual decipher which path is right for their unique situation? Going into this complex topic, we'll discuss various factors that influence this decision, and how wealth & asset managers such as the ones at Lyon Bern, can offer invaluable assistance in this process.
Wealth & Asset Management: More Than Just Numbers
Before going into the types of retirement accounts, it’s important to understand the role of wealth and asset management. Wealth & Asset Management is about nurturing your hard-earned money, ensuring it grows, and remains protected from unpredictable market fluctuations. Lyon Bern's method integrates a holistic approach to managing investments. By curating four distinct investment portfolios, each having its unique strategy, they offer an array of blended model portfolios. Whether you have a conservative mindset or lean towards aggressive investment profiles, Lyon Bern ensures there's a strategy tailored to your risk tolerance and investment objectives.
Retirement Accounts: Which One Is The Right Retirement Account for You?
The selection of the right retirement account isn't one-size-fits-all. Factors like your income level, employment status, and future financial goals play pivotal roles. Here's a brief breakdown:
Traditional IRA: This is an individual retirement account where contributions may be tax-deductible. However, withdrawals during retirement are taxed.
Roth IRA: Here, contributions are made with after-tax assets, meaning withdrawals during retirement are generally tax-free.
401(k): Offered by employers, this account allows employees to save and invest a piece of their paycheck before taxes are taken out. Taxes are paid when the money is withdrawn from the account.
Solo 401(k), SEP IRA, and SIMPLE IRA: Ideal for self-employed individuals or small business owners, these accounts offer varying contribution limits and tax benefits.
Health Savings Account (HSA): Not strictly a retirement account, HSAs can act as supplementary retirement funds. They're available to those with high-deductible health plans and offer triple tax advantages.
When choosing amongst these options and others that exist in Puerto Rico and the US, one needs to consider tax implications, contribution limits, employer matches, and more. The process can be intricate.
