The Retirement Problem

Why investors are looking beyond Wall Street.

Traditional retirement accounts can become heavily dependent on public markets. Real assets may offer different drivers of value, income, control, and diversification.

1

Market Corrections

Public market volatility can impact concentrated retirement portfolios.

2

Inflation Pressure

Some investors want assets connected to demand, operations, and income.

3

Limited Control

Many retirement plans provide little visibility into the underlying value creation.

4

Low Diversification

Stocks and bonds may not provide exposure to private real asset strategies.

Risk And Discipline

Protect Your Retirement Investment with Proper Due Diligence

Before investing your Self-Directed IRA or 401(k), do your homework. Review the opportunity, verify account compliance, coordinate a secure fund transfer, and understand the exit strategy. Proper due diligence helps you make informed decisions.

Due Diligence

Review Investment Due Diligence

Before investing, evaluate the offering documents, financial projections, and sponsor experience. Also review asset quality, fees, risks, and potential downside scenarios.

Account Compliance

Ensure Account Compliance

Work with your self-directed IRA custodian, tax advisor, and qualified professionals to ensure your investment complies with IRS retirement account regulations.

Fund Transfer

Secure Fund Transfer

Coordinate a direct custodian-to-custodian transfer or rollover. Retirement funds move securely between qualified accounts without creating a taxable event.

Exit Strategy

Understand the Exit Strategy

Before committing capital, review the expected timeline and hold period. Also consider refinancing options, liquidity, and the projected exit strategy.

How Does This Work?

The Self-Directed IRA Rollover Process

A general overview of how retirement funds may move into a self-directed account for real asset opportunities.

01

Evaluate Eligibility

First, check whether your 401(k), IRA, or other qualified account is eligible for a rollover into a self-directed retirement account.

02

Open SD Account

Choose a qualified Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) custodian and open your new investment account.

Don't have a custodian? Contact us and we'll be happy to refer you to a trusted Self-Directed IRA custodian.

03

Transfer Funds

Your retirement funds are transferred directly from your current custodian to your new Self-Directed IRA. You never take personal possession of the funds.

04

Review Opportunity

Carefully review the offering documents, business plan, financial projections, investment risks, and other due diligence materials before making an investment decision.

05

Submit Documents

Complete the subscription documents and submit all required paperwork to your custodian for investment approval and processing.

06

Your IRA Account Becomes the Investor

Your Self-Directed IRA becomes the legal investor in the offering, through its qualified custodian. The custodian makes the investment in your IRA's name and transfers funds directly, in accordance with IRS regulations.

No Personal Receipt

Retirement funds must move directly between qualified custodians. Taking personal possession of the funds may result in taxes, penalties, or other IRS consequences.

Timing Matters

Opening a Self-Directed IRA and completing the transfer process can take several weeks. Plan ahead to ensure your funds are available before investment deadlines.

Professional Guidance Required

Always consult with your tax advisor, CPA, attorney, and financial professional before making investment decisions involving retirement accounts.
