Next Generation Trust Company, a custodian and administrator of self-directed IRAs, has announced a strategic partnership with Stairway Invest LLC to offer accredited investors an opportunity to diversify their retirement portfolios through Stairway Loan Accounts (SLAs). The SLAs provide a personally guaranteed 8 percent per annum return and are available exclusively to accredited investors.
The SLAs are an SEC-compliant, liquid private product. Funds from the SLAs are invested in real estate globally, with a priority on affordable housing and renewable energy. Stairway's primary focus is on U.S. markets, and they currently hold assets in 16 states, as well as in Australia, Canada, and Brazil.
Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, stated, "With real estate continuing to be among the most popular alternative assets allowed in self-directed IRAs, 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."
To participate, accredited investors must first open and fund a self-directed account with Next Generation Trust Company, then use a portion of those funds to invest in Stairway Invest. The earned interest is credited to the client's SLA; the principal and accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time and returned to the self-directed IRA.
Stairway Invest has been working with accredited investors in the real estate space for nearly 25 years. In addition to the eight percent annual return, interest is credited daily, there are no fees, and the SLA permits unlimited transactions.
Austin Fowler, founder and CEO of Stairway Invest, explained, "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 stands behind every manager, providing a deep and diverse safety net."
Stairway also offers client education on professional passive real estate investing through its online forum, professional capital raising, and a white label service for professional investors who already have their own brand and want to use Stairway's infrastructure to raise capital as liquid debt.
