What is an IRA?

An IRA is a retirement account held at a financial institution that allows individuals to build-up tax-deferred savings. The IRA plan became very popular in 1981 with the Economic Recovery Tax Act which encouraged employees to contribute more to their IRA funds. There are 3 main types of IRAs with their own unique advantages.

An IRA is a retirement account held at a financial institution that allows individuals to build-up tax-deferred savings. There are 3 main types of IRAs with their own unique advantages:

Traditional IRA – An individual is allowed to make contributions with money that may grow tax-deferred until time for withdrawal.

Roth IRA - Contributions are made to a fund with after-tax money that will grow tax-free, with zero fee withdrawals in retirement, as long as certain conditions are met.

IRA Rollover – Contributions can be rolled over from qualified retirement plans into a traditional IRA. Funds from an employer-sponsored plan, such as a 401(k) or 403(b) or 457 may be rolled over into an IRA.

What are the funds invested in?

According to data collected by the Investment Company Institute, IRAs held roughly $12.6 trillion in assets at the end of the first quarter of 2021. 45% of IRA assets or $5.6 trillion are in mutual funds, $3.2 trillion are invested in equity funds and $1.1 trillion in miscellaneous funds. The rest is not specified.

Why is my IRA always losing money?

The problem is IRA holders and investors have no way to protect their retirement funds. Since most of the funds are invested in vanishing mutual funds, volatile stocks, and stagnant bonds, the frequent loss of equity in the open Stock Market exposes the funds to catastrophic losses.

Fact #1:

The COVID 19 Effect

With about 60 million participants, 401(k) plans hold an estimated $6.9 trillion in assets. From December 2020 through the end of March 2020, the collective fund suffered a catastrophic loss. Here are the numbers: Total drop was $790 billion in 3 months. The breakdown is as follows; Mutual funds dropped from $4.09 trillion to $3.289 trillion representing a $720 billion loss. Other mixed and miscellaneous investments went from $2.141 trillion down to $2.071 trillion depicting a $70 billion fall in value. The same fairs for IRA plans because they are invested in the same family of assets. When the market dips or crashes, mutual funds and equities are the first to vanish.

Unfortunately, the way hedge fund managers address this intrinsic problem is to spread the funds across multiple investment vehicles to cushion the loss. Since assets can only be invested in traditional forms of investments like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, they remain in the same markets where trillions of dollars evaporated 12 years ago.

Fact #2:

The Federal Reserve, under the Presidency of Joe Biden, has printed more money in 6 months than in the first 245 years since the founding of the United States of America. Let me say that differently. In June 2021, the US budget deficit was $864 billion. This figure dwarfs the total debt incurred by the United States from 1776 to 1979!!! Thus far, $10.7 trillion has been approved into being from thin air. “. . . $1.2 trillion infrastructure package and $3.5 trillion in social spending, . . ., $2 trillion COVID relief package followed $4 trillion in COVID spending last year” – New York Post.
