Abstract

The article discusses the management of a U.S. individual retirement account (IRA) as of June 2012, focusing on investments in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, as well as the risks associated with creative IRA investment ventures. The legal principle of self-dealing is examined as it relates to IRA investments. An IRA owner is reportedly barred from co-mingling IRA and non-retirement funds, as well as from making an investment or a loan which would benefit the IRA owner. The tax benefits of a Roth IRA are also examined.
