As a certified retirement professional, I have spent the past 15 years educating individuals, institutions and professionals on the rules and regulations surrounding self-directed retirement plans. While most IRA providers limit your investment choices to publicly traded securities or mutual funds, a self-directed IRA empowers investors to diversify into a wide scope of alternative and tangible assets. With a truly self-directed retirement plan, individuals can diversify their retirement savings into local real estate, physical bullion/precious metals, private placements, digital currencies and other alternative assets. I am excited to join the team at New Direction, as we share a common goal of providing investors with the education, support, and technology to diversify their retirement plans into alternative assets. Self-directed IRAs grant investors control and diversification of retirement funds, while giving them the ability to adapt to economic conditions. With increased global tensions, stock market volatility and concerns over asset bubbles, more investors are turning to self-directed IRAs to invest their retirement funds in what they know and trust.

For over 30 years, the Entrust Group assisted thousands of investors in self-directing their IRAs and 401(k)s into assets they know and trust. During my time with Entrust, I oversaw the implementation of many of the network's new services, including the precious metal and crowdfunding divisions.
