有关ROTH IRA帐户的风险问题。

年纪越来越大了,最近动起了为退休存钱的念头。去年开了个tradition IRA. 当时银行告诉我本金是有联邦保险的,唯一的风险就是收益或多或少,最坏的情况就是收益为零,但是本金不会亏掉。
目前我想再开个ROTH IRA,在网上看了看,觉的Vanguard® Target Retirement Fund 不错。可是就是找不到有关本金有联邦保险这一条。在这里看到有的朋友说在年景不好的时候,ROTH IRA帐户里的钱缩水一半,不由的吓我一身冷汗。
难道IRA会因为买不同的基金而把本金也亏掉? 这是退休的钱啊,如果会把本金亏掉,那与正常股票帐户没太大区别了。
高手们能帮我解答一下吗?谢谢~~
谢谢大家的回复。看样子ROTH IRA如果买FUND的话,是没有FDIC的。但是traditional IRA如果买FUND的话,却有FDIC的。本来以为ROTH的收益是免税的,比较适合我。没想到竟然找不到principal insured 的fund. 各位考虑买traditional 或是roth的时候,仅仅是从免税角度出发的吗? principal的风险一点都不在考虑之内?
下面就是我去年买的traditional ira的资料:
Stock Market IRA - A well deliberated risk
- The interest generated is based on the changes in the Standard and Poor's 500 Index (S&P 500)
- Minimum initial deposit: $500.
- Available term: 5 years
- The principal is insured by the FDIC up to $250,000
仔细考虑了一下,虽然ROTH的收益可以免税,但是还是有风险。谁也估计不到在漫长的几十年后,美国经济是啥样子。而这是退休金。关系到老年的生活质量。如果真的连本都亏掉,到时候可真的是哭都没眼泪。

这句话的意思不就是S&P 500降了,你的钱也跟着降么?
i think the traditional IRA from your bank is some sort of MMK fund, usually MMK from bank has FDIC insured.
and honestly i think the FDIC insurance is only against bankrupcy of the bank. I do not think FDIC will protect you from losing money due to trading risks.
我买的是STOCK MARKET IRA,跟踪的是S&P 500,自然算是SECURITIES,而不应该是储蓄之类的。那个银行说的很清楚啊,本金是一定不会损失的。
顺便说一下,限额是5000,这也是我一直不理解的事情。

这就是我要买Vanguard® Target Retirement Funds 的原因,随着年纪的增长,FUND会帮我配置比较合理的portfolio,不需要我伤脑筋。只是如果不保护本金,心理有点不塌实。

that limit of $5,000 is FDIC insured. so anything above that limit will not be protected, as what i am thinking. you should, however, double check w/ the bank. i searched online and found the PNCBank offers FDIC insured investment, including IRA Certificates of Deposit and IRA Money Market accounts. i think this type of investment is relatively low risk.
不不不.... that limit of $5,000 是IRA的限额。我知道2004,2005都只能买$4000。所以才奇怪不知道为啥我可以买5000。
(FDIC每个帐户可以担保25万。在顶楼的资料里已经说的很清楚了)。
到底了
