Advanta IRA Holds Nationwide Webinar: Investing Private Offerings with a Self-Directed IRA
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) November 11, 2014 -- Many people are interested in investing in private offerings but lack the funds to do so. This webinar illustrates the option individuals have of using self-directed IRA funds to increase their buying power when considering these investments. Typically, only qualified, sophisticated investors can participate in high-stakes private investments. However, investors of all levels of experience can take part in crowdfunding opportunities, where the risk may not be as great.
“Common examples include stock in a local community bank, a venture capital investment in a start-up tech or medical firm, a hedge fund or even a group of private investors pooling capital in an LLC to make a larger real estate purchase,” says Jack Callahan, managing partner of Advanta IRA Services. Investors can use funds from self-directed accounts to acquire private placements as well as many other alternative assets permissible in self-directed accounts.
Private placements are a great example of the different types of alternative investments available for those who self-direct their retirement accounts.
“Self-directed IRAs are popular because account owners control their own investment funds, choose their own assets, such as private offerings, and can achieve success by investing in what they know and understand,” says Callahan.
Interested individuals are encouraged to join Scott Maurer of Advanta IRA for this webinar to learn how to use retirement funds to invest in private ventures. The gains accrue on a tax-free or tax-deferred basis depending on the structure of the self-directed account. Additionally, these types of investments can offer crucial diversity within portfolios.

• Who can invest in private offerings
• What types of private opportunities are available to investors
