Advanta IRA Administration Offers Power Lunch Hour: The Potentials and Pitfalls of Self-Directed IRAs
Atlanta, Georgia (PRWEB) October 01, 2015 -- Self-directed IRAs have become more popular as investors of all levels of experience understand how these accounts work and can potentially boost the earnings of retirement portfolios. While Advanta IRA Administration does not provide investment advice, the firm does encourage investors to educate themselves on the benefits and risks of self-directed IRAs.
“The basis of self-directed IRAs is that the account owners take total control of their own investment choices and funds, which opens the door to a very large pool of alternative investments permissible in these plans,” says Jack Callahan, managing partner of Advanta IRA Administration in Atlanta, Georgia. “Self-directed plan owners are able to invest in things they know and understand—at their own pace and comfort level.”
Alternative investments include:
• real estate
• precious metals
• private lending options
• tax liens and deeds
• private placements and stock
• LLCs, LLPs and trusts
• foreign currency exchange and futures trading
• oil and gas opportunities
• cattle, accounts receivable, and much more…
Attendees of this luncheon can expect to learn:
• Prohibited transactions and disqualified persons when dealing with these accounts are covered in detail
• How self-direction empowers investors to make their own decisions and control their own futures
• The potentials and pitfalls that can occur with self-direction
• Stories of success and failures clients have experienced
This information is critical for those considering self-directed IRAs for the first time. It is important plan owners understand their level of responsibility and risk—and at the same time grasp the potential these accounts can offer in the right circumstances.
Beginning and sophisticated investors are invited to attend this event.
