Traditional IRAs

Take control of your retirement savings. Traditional IRAs are very flexible. You decide how much you want to invest (up to a maximum amount per year) and how often to contribute. As long as you are under the age of 70½ and have earned income (income from investments is not considered earned income), you’re eligible to contribute.

What traditional IRAs offer

• Potential for tax-deductible contributions
• No taxes until money is withdrawn
• A variety of investment choices
• Eligibility even if you’re in another retirement plan

Investing involves market risk, including possible loss of principal, and there is no guarantee that investment objectives will be achieved. Minimum distributions must be made from traditional IRAs, starting at age 70½.

Keep in mind, neither Nationwide^® nor its representatives provide tax or legal advice. You should consult your attorney or professional advisor for such advice.
