Roth IRA
What is a Roth IRA? A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account (IRA) that offers a powerful way to save for retirement. With the potential for tax-free growth and tax-free withdrawals in retirement, a Roth IRA can help you keep more of what you earn.
With Fidelity, you have a broad range of investment options, including options to have us manage your money for you. You'll get exceptional service as well as planning and guidance support.

Why you may want to consider other options

Don't forget these important steps
Once you get your account set up, what's next?
For a Fidelity Roth IRA: Make your first contribution. Once your money is in your IRA, you should get it invested. This is a very important step—investing is how your money has the potential to grow over time.
For a Fidelity Go® Roth IRA: Make your first contribution. You don't need to choose or manage your investments—we do that for you based on the information you gave us.
Once your Fidelity Go® Roth IRA reaches $25,000 consider setting up a coaching appointment to review your full financial picture. That's why we're here!
