Financial planners and investment advisors best understand the importance of true diversification among different asset classes. You can help your clients optimize their retirement portfolio by taking advantage of the wide array of investment opportunities available with a self directed IRA.

When your clients have asset custody needs that extend beyond the scope of what your clearing firm can provide, a self directed IRA can often be the solution for clients that wish to invest their retirement funds in:

  • Real estate
  • Trust or mortgage deeds
  • Precious metals
  • Oil & gas
  • Private equity (closely-held stock, REITs, LPs or LLCs)
  • Private debt (promissory notes or corporate debt offerings)

Even if a client’s transaction is one that does not allow you to earn compensation, you can often retain the relationship and provide a value-added service for your client.

If you’re a sponsor or issuer of a traditional or alternative investment, you probably already know that retirement account investors can be a major source of capital for your endeavor. If you’re new to the game, you can quickly learn how to target a new audience of investors.

Self directed IRAs can increase your fundraising for investment projects in a number of ways:

  • Funds are more readily available for investing. Unlike disposable income, retirement account money is usually easier and faster to access once the investor decides to invest.
  • An IRA custodial relationship enhances your fundraising. If you have a relationship in place with an IRA custodian when you approach investors, simply mentioning that you can accept their retirement funds can provide another avenue for an investor to consider.
  • Investors are seeking more alternative investments. With the current economic downturn, it’s no secret that more investors are trading their attraction to the stock market for alternative investments.
  • Increase the perception prospective investors have of you. By informing prospective investors and prospects about the opportunity to invest using their retirement funds, you can provide the valuable knowledge of something they may not have thought was possible. Many investors still think that investments in their retirement accounts are limited to stocks and mutual funds. While this is slowly changing, many are not aware that investments in real estate, private equity and much more can be made in a self directed IRA.
