stretch IRA Definition

stretch IRA

Definition

An Individual Retirement Account strategy designed to prolong or "stretch" the period of time over which earnings can be tax deferred. This strategy is used when an investor does not need all of the funds from the retirement account, and wishes to create an estate that can extend for generations. Beneficiaries will still need to take the required minimum distributions.
