Equity Institutional offers a full range of tax-advantaged accounts, including IRAs and qualified account types to meet the investment needs of your clients.
Allows individuals to make contributions with pre-tax money and may provide a tax deduction, while the investment earnings are tax-deferred until withdrawn from the account.
Advantages:
Individuals are eligible to begin making withdrawals at age 59 ½, but required minimum withdrawals from a Traditional IRA must begin at age 70½.
View Contribution LimitsAllows eligible individuals to make contributions with after-tax dollars (not eligible for tax deduction). This account is designed to allow investment earnings to grow tax-free and provides the opportunity for tax-free withdrawals in retirement. The earnings and distributions are tax-free after the individual reaches 59 ½.
Advantages:
Individuals who are U.S citizens, regardless of age, can open a Roth IRA, assuming their individual Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) is within allowable limits.
Simplified Employee Pension (SEP), is designed for self-employed individuals or small businesses with less than 25 employees. The SEP allows for pre-tax contributions toward retirement without getting involved in a more complex qualified plan such as a 401(k). Contributions to a SEP are tax deductible and compound tax-deferred until withdrawn, pending that the distribution is taken after the account holder reaches 59 ½ years of age. Additional information related to SEP accounts can be found here.

Additional information related to SIMPLE accounts can be found here.
