Step-by-step process to subscribe and manage products in an IRP
1) Check available products: Before enrolling, check the IRP product list, fees, and redemption restrictions on the securities firm or bank app or customer center.
2) Open or transfer account: If you have an existing retirement plan, you can transfer it to an IRP. Transfer procedures and fees differ by financial company.
3) Deposit funds and set allocations: After depositing severance pay or personal contributions, set allocations by product. Decide the balance between principal-protected and investment products.
4) Execute orders: Select designated products such as funds, ETFs, or deposits via app or web and place orders. Some products may have subscription limits or minimum amounts.
5) Monitor and rebalance: Periodically review asset allocation for retirement objectives. Check whether automatic transfer or automatic rebalancing services are available.
Points to check and contact points
- Product availability, tax benefits, and withdrawal rules can change, so confirm the latest standards with your securities firm, bank, or the tax authority before enrolling.
- Early withdrawal conditions, tax rates, and limits vary by individual circumstances. Confirm the latest information or consult a professional before making tax-based decisions.
- Some high-risk products may not be available or may be restricted in IRP. Read product prospectuses and terms carefully.
