Did your retirement bubble burst when the economy tanked? Is the prospect of a comfortable retirement beginning to look dimmer?
Whether you are in retirement, near retirement, or in the early stages of retirement planning, there are investment opportunities available to you that can make the future look brighter.
A Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) opens up a new world of investment opportunities. With a Self-Directed IRA, you can invest in alternatives like real estate, precious metals, private businesses, and more. The potential for profits and investment protection far exceeds any returns you will find from traditional investment strategies in today’s marketplace. Nine out of ten advisors expect to increase alternative assets over the next year, and half of those advisors plan to increase this use by 15% in 12 months.
Maybe it’s time you thought about how to incorporate this into your retirement planning too.
Here are some of the ways you can secure your retirement outlook with a Self-Directed IRA:
- Diverse Opportunities. Why limit your retirement choices to stocks, bonds, mutual funds, CDs, and money markets when many alternative options are available to you? Real wealth is made through ongoing revenue generation complemented with equity that pays over the longer term. When you establish a Self-Directed IRA account, options available to you include real estate, private business, precious metals, and more. You can even act as your own banker and realize a solid return on your investment through private lending. These opportunities are not available through a Brokerage IRA.
- Protection. Guarding against market cycles can be difficult in a rocky global economy. How can you secure your retirement outlook when you are subject to the whims of Wall Street or meager returns from banks? What happens when inflation rears its ugly head? Investments like precious metals and real estate maintain their value over time and can protect you against unforeseen market reactions or inflationary pressures.
- Tax-Free Growth. With savvy investing and the help of experienced financial advisors, a Self-Directed IRA offers you the ability to grow your wealth through lucrative alternative investment opportunities and avoiding tax payments on capital gains.
If you are looking for a way to make up for lost ground on your retirement funds and seek alternative investment opportunities to provide a secure retirement plan for you and your family, consider joining the thousands of investors who are switching their retirement accounts to Self-Directed IRAs.
