Stretch IRA
Estate planning concept used to extend the financial life of an IRA across multiple generations. The strategy lets an IRA's original beneficiary transfer upon death, the IRA assets to his or her own beneficiary without triggering an immediate income tax liability. Such flexibility provides an opportunity to stretch an IRA's tax-deferred growth potential longer than initially intended.
