Next Generation Trust Company, a custodian and administrator of self-directed IRAs, has announced a strategic partnership with Stairway Invest LLC to provide accredited investors with a new investment option that offers a personally guaranteed 8 percent annual return. The partnership allows investors to use funds from their self-directed IRAs to invest in Stairway Loan Accounts (SLAs), an SEC-compliant, liquid private product.
According to Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, real estate remains a popular alternative asset for self-directed IRA holders. "This strategic partnership allows our accredited investor clients to earn a personally guaranteed ROI from one simple, liquid product using funds from their Next Generation IRA," she said.
To participate, accredited investors must first open and fund a self-directed account with Next Generation Trust Company. They can then allocate a portion of those funds to invest in Stairway Invest. The earned interest is credited to the client's SLA, and the principal plus accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time and returned to the self-directed IRA. The SLA offers daily interest crediting, no fees, and unlimited transactions.
Stairway Invest has been working with accredited investors in real estate for nearly 25 years. The SLA funds are invested in real estate globally, with a focus on affordable housing in the U.S. and renewable energy. The firm holds assets in 16 states as well as in Australia, Canada, and Brazil. Founder and CEO Austin Fowler emphasized the safety of the investment: "Our managers personally guarantee client principal and interest, not just with the assets purchased with deposits, but with their own worldwide portfolios. All client funds are backed first by their manager's worldwide assets and then by the business itself."
Stairway Invest also offers client education on passive real estate investing through an online forum, professional capital raising services, and a white label service for professional investors who want to use Stairway's infrastructure to raise capital as liquid debt.
