A self-directed IRA is a retirement account that empowers investors to take control of their financial future. Just like a conventional IRA or 401(k), a self-directed IRA gives you the opportunity to take advantage of tax benefits. It has all the benefits you’ve come to expect from a retirement account with two important differences — more investment options and greater control of your retirement portfolio.
With a self-directed IRA, you can bulletproof your retirement savings by going beyond paper-based assets to diversify with alternative assets such as IRS approved physical gold and precious metals.
