OAKBROOK, Ill., Feb. 15, 2022  -- Millennium Trust Company, LLC ("Millennium Trust"), a leading provider of specialized retirement and institutional custody solutions, announced a new strategic collaboration with Ark7, a fractional real estate platform, that will provide Millennium Trust clients with greater access to alternative investment options within their Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs), where clients will now have the opportunity to invest in fractional shares of Ark7 properties using their IRAs.

“We are excited to collaborate with Ark7 and further expand on our existing suite of alternative investment offerings,” said Jeremy Christensen, Co-Head of Custody Services at Millennium Trust.

Strategic use of alternative assets, including private equity, real estate, and hedge funds, can improve the overall performance of retirement portfolios according to a joint study conducted by Georgetown University Center for Retirement Initiatives (CRI) and Willis Towers Watson. Their research indicates that including these types of assets can improve the income stream of a well-diversified retiree's fund by an estimated 17% in the best-case scenario, and by 11% at minimum.[1]

Investing in alternative assets has traditionally been a complex process, but through Millennium Trust's strategic collaboration with Ark7, clients can now buy, hold, and sell fractional shares of quality rental properties for income and price appreciation, and achieve greater IRA portfolio diversification through the MTC Investment Platform.

This innovative collaboration further strengthens two leading features of Millennium Trust's self-directed IRA platform: the breadth of alternative investment options for clients, and its technological innovations which are made possible by the firm's application programming interface (API). Millennium Trust's API has been instrumental in implementing Ark7's offerings and providing sponsors and advisors with enhanced user experiences.

"We are excited to collaborate with Ark7 and further expand on our existing suite of alternative investment offerings," said Jeremy Christensen, Co-Head of Custody Services at Millennium Trust. He added, "This offering takes us another step closer to providing the private investment community with access to the $13.2 trillion dollar IRA industry[2], and towards the automation of private investments through IRAs."

"At its core, Ark7 gives individuals the opportunity to invest in equalized shares of managed real estate properties in various popular locations, all backed by brilliant software and robust automation," said Andy Zhao, Co-Founder and CEO of Ark7. "Many of our investors have requested the option to invest through their IRAs to diversify their retirement portfolios. We chose to collaborate with Millennium Trust because of their strong track record of providing API-based IRA custodian services, and their ability to provide efficient, high-quality user experiences."
