Invest your Retirement Funds into Private Stock with a Self-Directed IRA

Lisa was very excited about an investment opportunity that came her way. She heard about a community bank that was starting up in California. She decided to invest $50,000 from her SEP IRA into the community bank. She bought 25,000 shares at $2.00 each, and later sold them for $6.50 when a larger bank purchased the community bank. Her total IRA funds went from $50,000 to $162,500, a gain of 325%, all while deferring taxes until she retires.*

These offerings must comply with the securities Blue Sky laws in the state in which the offering is made. The number of individuals included in the offering cannot exceed the maximum stipulated by state law.

These offerings, usually made by corporations seeking capitalization, can be in any class of stock described in their prospectus. Many corporations act as their own registrar as well as transfer agent. They may or may not use market makers for their offerings. Purchases and sales are described in their offering materials, which you should study closely.
