IRAs & Investments

Choosing an IRA
There's no better time than now to begin saving for retirement. Whatever your needs, Northern Funds has a no-fee Individual Retirement Account alternative that can help you make the most of your retirement assets.

Rollover IRA
A rollover IRA gives you the opportunity to continue growing your retirement savings on a tax-deferred basis until you withdraw this money in the future.

Traditional IRA
An Individual Retirement Account provides you with many advantages, the greatest of which is the tax-deferred compounding of investment earnings on your contributions.

Roth IRA
Like a Traditional IRA, the Roth IRA offers investors a way to save for retirement. Unlike a Traditional IRA, contributions to a Roth IRA are never tax deductible. However, a Roth IRA provides a unique advantage: The potential for tax-free income in retirement.
