Be Truly Diversified
Our specialized self-directed retirement plans are designed to allow for investments in a broad array of asset classes. Unlike conventional financial services firms that limit your choices to the products they sell, we open the doors to any investments permitted by law. This allows you to be truly diversified, and expand your horizons beyond conventional financial products into a variety of opportunities, including:
- Real Estate
- Trust Deeds
- Privately Held Companies
- Tax Liens
- Cryptocurrency
- Crowdfunded Ventures
- And much, much more
A Self-Directed IRA or Solo 401(k) plan gives you the flexibility to invest as you choose, and take advantage of the opportunities available to you in your local market or your network of associates.
The Checkbook Control Advantage
With a Safeguard retirement plan, you will be in full control of all investment activities. Plan funds will be held in a bank or brokerage account of your choosing, and you will have signing authority. When opportunity presents itself, you can act immediately.
Forget about the paperwork, processing delays, and per-transaction fees common with custodian-held accounts. When you have full control over plan funds, you can operate much more efficiently, and that improves your bottom line results.
