90 Things You Can Invest in With a Self-Directed IRA

Estimated reading time: 1.5 minutes

One of the greatest advantages of a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) is that it gives you the freedom to invest in things that interest you. A Self-Directed IRA gives you the opportunity to build a truly diversified portfolio, and take advantage of alternative investments.

Rather than insist on particular investments and restrict access to others (such as alternative assets), a Self-Directed IRA cracks the concept wide open to give you access to its full potential. To give you an idea of what that potential is, here’s our list of 90 things you can invest in with a Self-Directed IRA.
