Advanta IRA Administration to Investors: Take Control of Your Investments with Self-Directed Traditional IRA and Roth IRAs
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) January 18, 2014 -- Self-directed retirement plans give the account owners complete control over choosing their own investments which they know and understand—at a pace they are comfortable with in the sometimes fast and furious world of investing.
Self-directed IRAs are not a new concept but as savvy investors seek shelter from the ups and downs of the stock market, many are learning the benefits of self-directing traditional and Roth IRAs:
• Tax-deferred or tax-free income towards retirement
• Total control in choosing your own investments
• Access to a large pool of alternative investment choices
• Broader opportunities for diversification in retirement portfolios
Alternative investments offer diversity within retirement portfolios outside the traditional Wall Street mind set. Alternative investments include commercial and residential real estate, private notes and mortgages, precious metals, LLCs and LLPs, timber, accounts receivable, cattle, oil and gas opportunities…and much more. “The greatest benefit of self-directed IRAs is that plan owners gain total control of their own investment choices instead of relying on someone else to make these critical choices for them,” says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Administration.
Advanta IRA holds weekly events about self-directed retirement plans in an effort to educate investors and other professionals within the industry. “Many first-time attendees do not understand the very basics of self-direction and our aim is to make sure they walk away with a better-than-average understanding of what taking control of their own investments might mean in terms of building wealth for retirement,” says Callahan.
The upcoming events below are designed for both the beginner and sophisticated investor as well as for professionals, such as CPAs and attorneys, who are in positions to offer investment advice to their clients.
