What a Traditional IRA Offers

A Traditional IRA is a retirement account that provides potential tax advantages on contributions and tax-deferred growth on investments held inside the account. With a Traditional IRA at KeyCorp, you gain access to a broad selection of investment choices, professional account administration, and digital tools that make it simple to build, monitor, and adjust a portfolio that aligns with your retirement timeline and risk tolerance.

Key Benefits

• Tax-Deferred Growth: Investments grow tax-deferred, which can help compounding work more efficiently over time.
• Potential Current-Year Tax Advantage: Depending on your personal tax situation and eligibility, contributions to a Traditional IRA may be tax-deductible under applicable tax rules.
• Wide Investment Selection: Choose from mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), individual stocks and bonds, and professionally managed strategies to create a diversified portfolio.
• Flexible Funding Options: Fund your account with regular contributions, lump sums, or rollovers from eligible retirement plans.
• Beneficiary Designations: Appoint beneficiaries to help ensure a smooth transfer of assets according to your wishes.
• Professional Administration: Experience robust recordkeeping, annual statements, and clear documentation to support tax reporting and long-term planning.

How It Works

Opening a Traditional IRA at KeyCorp is designed to be straightforward. After establishing your account, you select investments that match your goals and risk profile. Contributions are deposited into your IRA and invested according to your chosen allocation. Earnings — including interest, dividends and capital gains — accumulate tax-deferred within the account. When you take distributions in retirement, those withdrawals will be subject to ordinary income tax treatment according to prevailing tax law.

Investment Choices and Portfolio Construction

KeyCorp provides access to a broad palette of investment options so you can construct a portfolio that reflects your objectives:

• Mutual funds and index funds for diversified exposure to markets and asset classes
• Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for cost-effective, flexible trading
• Individual equities and fixed-income securities for tactical allocation
• Professionally managed portfolios for hands-off investors seeking expert guidance

Whether you prefer an actively managed approach or a low-cost passive strategy, the IRA can accommodate a range of investment philosophies. KeyCorp’s advisory services and online planning tools can help you evaluate asset allocation, risk, and expected time horizon.

Account Management and Digital Tools

Manage your Traditional IRA with a suite of digital tools designed for clarity and convenience. View balances, performance reports, and transaction histories via a secure online portal. Make contributions, initiate transfers, and update beneficiary information through intuitive account options. For investors who prefer personalized guidance, experienced representatives are available to discuss strategy, rebalancing, and retirement planning considerations.

Contributions, Rollovers, and Transfers

Contribute periodically or in a lump sum to pursue steady retirement savings. The Traditional IRA supports rollovers and transfers from eligible employer-sponsored retirement plans and other IRAs, enabling continuity in investment stewardship and potential consolidation of retirement assets. Contribution eligibility and limits are subject to governing tax rules and individual circumstances.

Withdrawals, Taxes and Required Distributions

Withdrawals from a Traditional IRA are generally taxable as ordinary income at the time of distribution. Early withdrawals taken before any applicable threshold may be subject to tax penalties in addition to ordinary income taxes. Traditional IRAs are also subject to required distribution rules as prescribed by tax authorities; account holders should plan for tax implications and timing of distributions as part of an overall retirement strategy.

Fees and Transparency

KeyCorp is committed to transparent pricing and clear disclosure of fees and expenses associated with IRA accounts. Fee structures may include custody fees, investment expense ratios, and transaction costs where applicable. Prior to opening an account, you will receive clear information about potential charges so you can make informed decisions aligned with your financial priorities.

Security and Stewardship

Protecting client assets and personal information is central to KeyCorp’s approach. Accounts are administered with established custodial safeguards and secure digital infrastructure. Recordkeeping and reporting adhere to regulatory standards to provide confidence and compliance throughout the life of the account.
