Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, has announced a strategic partnership with Stairway Invest LLC to offer accredited investors with self-directed IRAs a new investment option: the Stairway Loan Account (SLA). The SLA provides a personally guaranteed 8 percent per annum return and is available exclusively to accredited investors. This SEC-compliant, liquid private product allows investors to diversify their retirement portfolios with funds invested in global real estate, with a focus on affordable housing and renewable energy in U.S. markets, as well as assets in Australia, Canada, and Brazil.
“With real estate continuing to be among the most popular alternative assets allowed in self-directed IRAs, this strategic partnership allows our accredited investor clients to earn a personally guaranteed ROI from one simple, liquid product using funds from their Next Generation IRA,” said Raskulinecz. Accredited investors must first open and fund a self-directed account with Next Generation Trust Company, then allocate a portion of those funds to invest in Stairway Invest. The earned interest is credited to the client’s SLA, and both principal and accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time and returned to the self-directed IRA.
Stairway Invest has been working with accredited investors in real estate for nearly 25 years. In addition to the eight percent annual return, interest is credited daily, there are no fees, and the SLA permits unlimited transactions. Founder and CEO Austin Fowler explained that “our managers personally guarantee client principal and interest, not just with the assets purchased with deposits, but with their own worldwide portfolios. All client funds are backed first by their manager's worldwide assets and then by the business itself. Stairway Invest stands behind every manager, providing a deep and diverse safety net.”
Stairway also offers client education on professional passive real estate investing through its online forum, professional capital raising, and a white label service for professional investors who want to use Stairway’s infrastructure to raise capital as liquid debt.
