Advanta IRA Services Holds Lunch and Learn to Discuss How Alternative Assets in Your Self-Directed IRA Help Diversify Your Retirement Portfolio
Largo, Florida (PRWEB) November 17, 2013 -- Self-directed IRAs are retirement accounts that acquire assets solely at the account owner’s discretion. Those who self direct are able to invest in what they know, understand and can control. "IRS regulations allow many different types of alternative investments in self-directed IRAs, including real estate, private notes, mortgages, LLCs, precious metals, private equity and much more," says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Services. Investors can create more diversity for their IRA among asset classes, not just within a particular type of asset.
It is not uncommon for investors to be unsure of trying something new, such as exchanging mutual funds for a piece of real estate or a private placement within an IRA. With that in mind, Advanta IRA Services of Largo, Florida is holding this lunch and learn to discuss the various types of investments clients have made with IRA accounts and the benefits that can come with these alternative investments. Topics include the different types of self-directed IRAs, paying special attention to the Roth IRA, a most favored investment vehicle. This event also covers disqualified persons, the potential pitfalls of investing, and give some examples of transactions that Advanta IRA’s clients have made. Additionally, Advanta IRA will explore how a self-directed IRA can be the borrower on a transaction and how leveraging an IRA is not as scary as it seems.
"The essential rule of thumb with self-directed IRAs is to understand that knowledge is power, control is key, and diversity is essential in building a healthy retirement portfolio," says Callahan. This lunch and learn is designed with both the sophisticated as well as beginning investor in mind.
