American IRA Discusses a Primer on Self-Directed IRA Investment Options
ASHEVILLE, NC / ACCESSWIRE / March 27, 2021 / What are the Self-Directed IRA investment options available for retirement investors? That is the topic of a recent “primer” at the American IRA blog, where the Self-Directed IRA administration firm detailed some specific categories of retirement investing. In particular, American IRA highlighted the specific categories of private companies, real estate, precious metals, and private loans.
The IRS, American IRA often notes, does not say which retirement investments are valid, but rather points out which retirement investments should not be held within a Self-Directed IRA. These investments included assets such as fine art or collectibles like fine wines. Because it can be difficult to judge the value of these assets, they are not appropriate for retirement investing. However, this does open up all sorts of other possibilities for investors who want alternative asset classes within a retirement portfolio.
American IRA’s post does not only address which asset classes these are but explains more about what investors might need to know about them and their use within a retirement portfolio. For instance, raw land is a subcategory within real estate that serves as a valid investment but is different from an investment such as a single-family rental home that generates rental income within a retirement account.
“This post serves as an introduction to the types of investments investors can pursue with a Self-Directed IRA,” said Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA. “Because of that, we linked to more information that readers can find if they’re interested in looking more into the particular quirks of each asset class. It’s important that investors know the options available to them, and what those options tend to do within a retirement portfolio.”
As a Self-Directed IRA administration firm, American IRA serves as a custodian on a self-directed account but does not make specific investment recommendations to investors. That is why it is important for retirement investors using a Self-Directed IRA to brush up on retirement investing knowledge.
