What is a Self-Directed Retirement Account?

A self-directed retirement account is a tax-advantaged IRA or Solo 401(k) that gives you the freedom and flexibility to invest in alternative assets.

Unlike traditional retirement accounts limited to stocks and bonds, self-directed accounts let you take control of your investments while staying compliant with IRS rules. Diversify your portfolio, reduce your tax burden, and invest in what you know best.
