Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) The worrisome state of Social Security has been widely publicized in recent years. It is uncertain what level of benefits any of us can expect to receive once we reach retirement. Therefore, why would you count on Social Security to be your sole source of retirement income? The simple answer is you shouldn't. Maybe you are fortunate enough to be a participant in your company's retirement plan. However, even these two benefits combined together may not be enough to fund the kind of retirement you envision. This is where Individual Retirement Accounts (IRA) can step in to provide the level of financial security you are looking for. With an IRA, you can make tax-advantaged contributions throughout your working life, plus your contributions and earnings continue to grow tax-deferred until you need to take distributions. American National Bank can help you design an IRA to meet your specific retirement needs. We offer three distinct investment management alternatives: Individually Directed IRA: Allows you to make your own investment decisions. Investment Advisory IRA: Allows you to make your own investment decisions based on recommendations you receive from our investment officers.

Recent changes in tax laws have made saving for retirement inside of an IRA even more accessible and attractive.
