An IRA is essentially just a type of account, and you can open one at a wide variety of financial firms. Where you open your IRA(s) depends on what types of investments you wish to purchase:

• banks & credit unions - for CDs and interest-bearing money-market and savings accounts
• brokerage firms - for stocks, bonds, mutual funds and other securities
• mutual fund companies - for mutual funds
• insurance companies - for annuities
