Investments
MyFreeIRA does not recommend investments and is not an investment adviser. Inclusion on the curated menu is not an endorsement or a determination of suitability. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Past performance does not indicate future results. The money market option is not insured by the FDIC and is not guaranteed.
The employer relationship
MyFreeIRA is designed as a payroll-deduction IRA arrangement, not an employer-sponsored retirement plan. The employer does not endorse MyFreeIRA or any investment option, receives no compensation from the arrangement, and does not act as a fiduciary with respect to it. Each account is the individual account holder’s own IRA.
Tax
MyFreeIRA does not give tax advice. Contribution limits, deductibility and distribution rules depend on your circumstances and change over time. Form 5498 and Form 1099-R will be issued by the custodian.
Demonstrations
Screens, balances, holdings, transactions and rates of return shown anywhere on this site or in the portals are illustrative.
