A self-directed IRA (SDIRA) is a type of individual retirement account that allows the account owner to have more control and flexibility over the investments in the account. Unlike traditional IRAs, SDIRAs can hold a variety of alternative investments such as real estate, precious metals, cryptocurrencies, private equity, and more.
Potential benefits of investing with a SDIRA
Key benefits of SDIRAs include investment flexibility, diversification, tax-deferred growth potential, and access to higher risk/reward alternatives, though investors should weigh liquidity, fee, and fraud risks. Ultimately, SDIRAs give investors more control over investment decisions with their retirement savings, but require careful consideration of their unique advantages, disadvantages and risks relative to one’s financial situation and tolerance.
