Experience an Upsurge in Funding with Self-Directed IRAs

One of the simplest methods of raising capital for private ventures is tapping into investors’ IRAs & 401(k)s. Many investors have stagnant retirement accounts and are unaware that they can be invested in alternatives like your fund. Your investors will be pleased to learn that their retirement portfolios can be diversified to include private equity funds, hedge funds, and startups. This is a win-win all around as your fund experiences an upsurge in funding from retirement accounts while your investors benefit from a largely unknown diversification strategy.

According to Pew Research population projections, an estimated 10,000 baby boomers retire every day. Consider the growth your firm can experience by capitalizing on this trend. As baby boomers retire, thousands of them are eligible to roll their employer plans into an IRA. Their newly available IRAs can be invested in standard brokerage products, or they can be invested in alternatives like your fund.

Base

Consider reaching out to your current investor base and educating them about investing their IRA with you. They’ve already shown confidence in your approach by investing personal money with you. Now it’s time for them to invest their IRAs with you as well.
