A Principal® IRA keeps you in the driver’s seat. It gives you control over your investment decisions, with as much or as little assistance as you prefer. Talk to a financial professional to get started. We're here Monday—Friday, 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. CT


Whether you’re investing in a Roth IRA or a traditional IRA, we give you the tools and resources to help secure your financial future.
A Principal® IRA gives you access to a range of investment options beyond what's typically offered in a traditional employer retirement plan—such a 401(k). Whether you’re looking for a straightforward investment or a customized lineup, you can choose from a variety of options including, but not limited to:
Mutual funds
Stocks
Bonds
Exchange-traded funds
With a Principal® IRA, you can consolidate multiple retirement accounts into one, which can mean less management and tracking for you.

You won’t pay account opening or maintenance fees for most accounts over $10,000. Accounts under $10,000 may have an annual fee of no more than $35, depending on which product you select. Brokerage accounts have a $35 annual fee regardless of account size. There are underlying fees or expenses for specific investment options—these are tied to the investment option and could apply regardless of the IRA provider you work with.
