Are you looking for more investment choices with your retirement portfolio?

If you are tired of being forced to put your retirement savings into mutual funds and other low-yielding traditional investments, then now is the time to consult with a Self-Directed IRA company like Vantage. Why? Because right now, it’s easier than ever to invest in alternative and potentially much higher-yielding non-traditional assets with a Self-Directed IRA.

Here are three top reasons you should set up and invest through a Self-Directed IRA.

1. You have full control. With a Self-Directed IRA, you have control to choose what investments will be of the best benefit to you and your future. If a great alternative investment opportunity becomes available and you cannot allocate funds for this investment because you don’t have a Self-Directed IRA, you may miss out on a winning opportunity to expand your wealth. And for no reason other than not taking the time to set up your Self-Directed IRA.

2. Flexible growth potential. The profit potential in private investing or alternative assets can be far greater than the volatile stocks and low-yielding bonds that most traditional investment companies will tie you up in. Most banks and financial institutions offer Brokerage IRAs. Still, most cannot help you invest in alternative assets such as real estate, precious metals, private loans, or a brand new startup. They could not help you because they’re not set up to offer alternative assets even if the company wanted to. And thus, they recommend their own Brokerage IRAs. That’s OK, but for a customer like you, it means limited returns and restricts choices.

3. Better investment options. Have you identified an investment property with flipping potential? What about a private company on the verge of explosive growth? With a Self-Directed IRA, you can direct your retirement savings into these types of opportunities. With a Brokerage IRA, you cannot. That means with a Brokerage IRA you can miss out on the profit potential that can come with purchasing a property to flip or hold on to for long-term cash flow and appreciation.
