What Is a Self-Directed IRA? (And How It Works)

Join Directed IRA’s Affiliate Manager, Daniel Tercey, for a practical overview of how investors can use a Self-Directed IRA to take greater control over their retirement investments.

Unlike a traditional brokerage IRA, a self-directed IRA gives investors the ability to use retirement funds for a wide range of alternative assets, including real estate, private lending, private companies, and more. However, investing outside the stock market requires an understanding of the IRS rules, account structure, and processes involved.

  • How contributions, transfers, and rollovers can be used to fund a self-directed IRA
