Personal Investment Accounts

Use a Personal Investment Account (PIA) to supplement your retirement account or meet many other investment needs — from a college savings or emergency account to a down payment on a major purchase. Contributions can be made by check, wire or by establishing an automatic investment plan through your bank.1

Advantages of a Personal Investment Account (PIA):

  • No limitation on maximum contributions.
  • Contributions can be made whenever you desire.
  • Immediate access to all assets in your account.2
  • No age restrictions or penalties imposed on withdrawals.
  • Check-writing privileges for Money Market accounts.3

Eligible shareholders and their spouses can open individual or joint accounts. An account for a minor child can be opened by using the Uniform Gift to Minors Act (UGMA) or the Uniform Transfer to Minors Act (UTMA). These permit a monetary gift to be given to a minor and held in a custodial account that an adult manages for the minor’s benefit until the minor reaches a certain age.

In addition, net investment income and capital gains from the funds are distributed periodically to shareholders. These distributions can either be automatically reinvested or taken as income. These distributions are considered taxable events.

PIA account requirements:

  • Initial investment per fund — $1,000
  • Subsequent purchases per fund — $100
  • Exchanges from another fund — $250
  • Minimum account balance per fund — $1,000
