Alternative Investments In Retirement Planning
Alternatives aren’t just for large, institutional investors anymore. They can be powerful diversifiers in your overall portfolio and, in particular, your self-directed IRA, which can add the benefit of tax-deferred growth over time.
Alternative investments stand apart from the traditional categories of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. This asset class includes real estate, private equity, multi-strategy funds, managed futures, marketplace lending and commodities such as precious metals — the kinds of investments endowments and pension plans are using because of their long-term risk/reward profiles. As a leading custodian of alternative investments, we are part of a current trend in the financial world to increase access to these assets by individual investors just like you.*
