Advanta IRA Services Kicks off 2014 by Offering a Powerful Webinar Regarding Self-Directed IRAs and Alternative Investments
Largo, FL (PRWEB) January 11, 2014 -- “The whole idea behind self-directed plans is that the account owners gain total control of their own investment choices,” says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Services. “Self-directed plan owners are able to invest in things they know and understand…at their own pace and comfort level.”
As self-directed IRAs become more commonly understood, both sophisticated and beginning investors are finding these types of accounts can potentially boost the earnings of retirement portfolios. Even so, many people are unaware of self-directed accounts and the benefits alternative investments offer.
Diversity in retirement and other investment accounts is crucial and alternative investments provide many opportunities for diversification.
Alternative investments include: real estate, precious metals, mortgages, notes, tax liens, private placements, LLCs, foreign currency exchange, and futures trading. Other alternative investments are found in oil and gas opportunities, cattle, raw land, accounts receivable and more. The list of possible alternative investments can be extensive. The only items that cannot be acquired as assets are the following as deemed by the IRS: collectibles and life insurance contracts.
“While Advanta IRA does not provide investment advice, we do encourage investors to educate themselves on the benefits of self-directing their investment accounts,” says Callahan. With that in mind, Advanta IRA Services is holding this webinar designed to educate investors on the potential benefits of self-directed investment accounts.
