Which IRA is right for you?

Ways to Invest

Gulf Winds offers two ways to invest for your retirement—the Share IRA and the Certificate of Deposit IRA. Both are avaliable in Traditional IRA and Roth IRA.

Share IRA

The Share IRA has no minimum balance or term requirement.

Certificate of Deposit IRA

The Certificate of Deposit IRA requires a minimum balance of $500. The interest rate is fixed at purchase and will remain in effect until maturity date.

Traditional IRA

Choose a Traditional IRA if you want a tax deduction right now. Traditional IRAs also make sense if you anticipate paying taxes at a significantly lower rate in retirement.

  • Available in a savings or certificate account
  • Tax-deductible (consult your tax advisor)
  • Federally insured by the NCUA up to $250,000

Roth IRA

Choose a Roth IRA if you don't need the tax break right now and would like a more flexible investment.

  • Available in a savings or certificate account
  • You do not have to take mandatory distributions at age 70½
  • Tax free withdrawal if you are over 59½
  • Federally insured by the NCUA up to $250,000
