In a traditional IRA there is either an equal or near to equal contribution made by employer. So, if $3,500 is to be invested let's assume that another $3,500 to be invested by employer with a total contribution (of 3500+3500=7000) the net contribution would be the same as the total contribution, tax rate is not given. Let's assume tax assume tax slab of 28%. Traditional IRS-matching contribution from employer Net contribution-$3,500+3,500=7,000 Roth IRA Assumption-Tax bracket of 28% Net contribution = amount invested minus tax=$3500 minus (28% on 3500) = $3500 - $980=$2520 Hence net contribution is not of taxes in case of Roth IRA Once the traditional IRA or Roth IRA is established, you decide to invest the proceeds in a mutual fund. Identify the type of mutual fund you would select.
