Next Generation Trust Company, a custodian and administrator of self-directed IRAs based in Roseland, New Jersey, has announced a new strategic partnership with Stairway Invest LLC to benefit accredited investors seeking portfolio diversification. The collaboration allows investors with self-directed IRAs at Next Generation to invest in Stairway Loan Accounts (SLAs), which provide a personally guaranteed 8 percent per annum return.
The SLAs are SEC-compliant, liquid private products available exclusively to accredited investors. Funds from the accounts are invested in real estate globally, with a priority on affordable housing and renewable energy. Stairway Invest primarily focuses on U.S. markets, currently holding assets in 16 states, but also has holdings in Australia, Canada, and Brazil.
Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, highlighted the significance of the partnership. "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," she said.
To participate, 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 The earned interest is credited to the client's SLA, and both principal and accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time and returned to the self-directed IRA.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 the real estate space 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. Austin Fowler, founder and CEO of Stairway Invest, emphasized the safety measures in place. "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," he explained.
Stairway also offers client education on professional passive real estate investing through its online forum, as well as professional capital raising and a white label service for professional investors who want to use Stairway's infrastructure to raise capital as liquid debt under their own brand.
