Next Generation Trust Helps Advisors Offer Alternative Assets

Next Generation Trust CEO Jaime Raskulinecz explains how independent advisors use self-directed IRAs to offer alternative assets like real estate and precious metals.

This news matters because it highlights a growing trend: as traditional brokerages cautiously embrace crypto futures, self-directed IRAs remain a key gateway for alternative investments. For financial advisors, partnering with a specialized custodian like Next Generation Trust allows them to keep clients who seek diversification without venturing outside their expertise or losing assets under management. For investors, it means greater access to alternatives like real estate and precious metals within retirement accounts, potentially enhancing portfolio diversification. The arrangement also preserves the advisor-client relationship while ensuring proper custody and administration, which can be complex for alternative assets. As more investors seek non-correlated assets, such partnerships could shape how retirement portfolios are constructed and advised.
