Take Control Of Your Retirement Savings With A Self-Directed IRA

How Is A Self-Directed IRA Different?

Enjoy tax advantages while gaining greater investment choice, flexibility and control

More Choice

IRA accounts allow income and appreciation to grow on a tax-deferred or tax-free basis on a wide variety of investment choices depending on the type of self-directed retirement account you choose.

More Flexibility

"Self-directed" simply means that with this type of retirement account you also have the flexibility to choose investments outside of publicly traded stocks, bonds, mutual funds and ETFs.

More Control

A self-directed IRA account is an attractive vehicle for investors who want to further diversify and control their retirement portfolios.

Self-directed IRAs require a specialized custodian.

Most household-name financial institutions typically do not offer IRA accounts that allow investments in alternative assets.

As a specialized custodian, Forge Trust is focused on self-directed IRAs and we allow investors to open this type of retirement account. With decades of experience handling alternative investments we know and understand the many intricacies and requirements of these investments. Learn more about the role of a custodian.
