An IRA used solely to store rollover funds from a qualified workplace retirement plan, keeping them separate from other IRA contributions. While the term is less commonly used today, maintaining a conduit IRA can preserve the ability to roll those funds into a future employer's qualified plan—something that may not be possible if the funds are commingled with other IRA money.
