Private Equity Investing with a Self-Directed IRA: What Investors Need to Know

ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA, USA, May 17, 2023/EINPresswire.com/ -- When news broke a few years ago that investor Peter Thiel had reportedly amassed billions of dollars in a Self-Directed IRA, it raised a few eyebrows. The strategy, apparently, was that Thiel had put private stock within an IRA. According to a recent post at American IRA, this strategy highlights one key aspect of Self-Direction that not many investors know about: the ability to hold private stock.

Because private stock can potentially have massive long-term value—for example imagine owning Google stock before the company had gone public—it’s particularly attractive to investors who want to think about long-term success. This diversification gives investors another option to look at when examining the economic landscape, which can be a major difference for investors who are tired of looking at the same old public stock funds.

Diversification means investors can have more tools to expand a retirement portfolio. It also means that there can be more ways to spread out risk. In other words, investors won’t have to rely on any one particular asset, which can feel troublesome at times when the risk in the economy is higher. For example, an investor who is 100% in public stocks may find that they feel nervous when the stock market is in crisis or suffers a crash.

Private equity investing is one option that expands investor’s potential options, but it’s not the only one. Investors can also use Self-Directed IRAs for precious metals, real estate, private notes, and a variety of other assets that can add to this diversification. And while it’s not a requirement that an investor diversify to this broad range of potential assets, it means there are more choices for investors. Other retirement investors may simply choose one, leveraging a specific type of asset experience to build a retirement portfolio.
