Advanta IRA Holds Popular Webinar for Investors: Self-Directed IRAs 101
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) February 13, 2015 -- Self-directed IRAs give owners of these plans control over their own investment funds and the freedom to choose their own assets to build wealth for retirement. By investing in things they know and understand, those who self-direct can potentially increase their odds of success. There are a myriad of assets permissible in these plans such as real estate, precious metals, private lending opportunities, crowdfunding investments, private placements—and much more.
While holding options such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds is certainly allowed—these traditional investments are offered by mainstream investing firms because they sell those investments. Self-directed account owners can acquire alternative investments outside the traditional norm, adding critical diversity within retirement portfolios.
“Advanta IRA believes that knowledge is power, control is key, and diversity is essential to successful investing. One way our clients achieve this is by attending our educational events to learn about self-directed accounts and alternative investments,” says Jack Callahan, managing partner of Advanta IRA Services in Florida and Advanta IRA Administration in Georgia. “Our webinars and seminars empower investors by providing knowledge that is crucial for them to confidently and successfully manage their own investment funds and decisions.”
Topics covered during this webinar include:
• The basics of self-directed plans, how they work, and how to maximize their potential
• Assets allowed in these accounts
• Types of plans that can be self-directed, qualifications, and contribution limits for each
• IRS regulations including disqualified persons and prohibited transactions
Investors with a desire to learn more about self-directed IRAs and the alternative investments are invited and encouraged to attend. For a full listing of future events, visit http://www.advantaira.com/events.
