A self-directed Individual Retirement Account only differs from other Individual Retirement Accounts in that the IRA owner has more control and flexibility when it comes to choosing investments. Typically, IRA investments are limited to exchange-traded assets like stocks and bonds. A custodian like iTrust offers self-directed IRA owners expanded investment options that include alternative investments.

If you choose to invest in alternative assets with an IRA or other qualified plan, you must have a self-directed IRA custodian. This is required by the IRS.

The self-directed IRA custodian responsible for holding and administering the assets of your account. There is extensive record-keeping required by the IRS and the self-directed IRA custodian should help you handle the reporting of all investment activity within the account, including quarterly reports, processing of annual asset valuations and other documentation.

Investors and their advisors — not the IRA custodian — are solely responsible for evaluating the investment’s merits and suitability. As the term "self-directed IRA" implies, you are in control and making all investment decisions.

How your customers benefit

Expand investment reach

Self-directed IRAs enable investors to expand their reach, by freeing up capital to invest in exchange-traded funds, or self-directed into non-exchange funds that are typcially found outside the stock market.

Broader choice

With an IRA you can invest in a lot more than stocks, bonds, and mutual funds, you can also leverage a wider range of investments that you know and understand, such as real estate, crowdfunding, P2P lending, private equity  and more.

Protection against market volatility

Alternative investments are typically non-exchange-traded, and values are more likely to change at different times and to different degrees than conventional investments, helping to stabilize a portfolio.

Tax benefits

Alternative investments have the potential to deliver compelling returns over time, offering tax-deferred or tax-free growth on capital gains. Many investors work these tax incentives into their investment strategy.

Bankruptcy protection

Alternative investments made with an IRA or 401(k) rollover offer various forms of asset protection under federal bankruptcy laws, enabling individuals to tailor tailor asset protection strategies by account type.

Flexibility & Control

Investors who diversify their portfolio with alternative investments can reduce their exposure to the ups-and-downs of the financial markets while giving their portfolios more growth potential.
