An individual account set up with a financial institution, such as a bank or a mutual fund
company. Under Federal law, individuals may set aside personal savings up to a certain
amount, and the investments grow, tax deferred. In addition, defined contribution plan
participants can transfer money from an employer retirement plan to an IRA when leaving
an employer. IRAs also can be part of an employer plan.
