For 40 years, The Entrust Group has provided account administration services for self-directed retirement and tax-advantaged plans. Entrust can assist you in purchasing alternative investments with your retirement funds, and administer the buying and selling of assets that are typically unavailable through banks and brokerage firms.
Unlike other IRAs held at banks, brokerage firms and other institutions, you’re not limited to stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
A truly Self-Directed IRA allows you to take advantage of investing in alternative assets - such as limited partnerships, LLCs, gold, real estate, and more.
With Entrust as the administrator of your account, you have the power to take your own path in your retirement planning.
That’s right, you can leverage almost any type of asset as an investment vehicle - including real estate, precious metals, private equity, notes, and many other alternative investments.
This is perhaps the most common reason investors choose a SDIRA. The investor will need to find a company, like Entrust, that has the expertise and infrastructure to handle alternative investments.
You purchase a home for $100,000 and then sell it for twice that amount. If this property was a part of your SDIRA, the profit would go directly into your IRA and ultimately be tax-deferred, allowing it to potentially grow tax-free.
Now pretend that you rent this same piece of real estate out annually for $40,000. If this property was a part of your SDIRA, once again, this income would go directly back into the IRA and ultimately be tax-deferred.
Bottom line: with the help of a self-directed IRA you can build up your retirement savings, while simultaneously enjoying the tax benefits. |
