Next Generation Trust Company, a custodian and administrator of self-directed IRAs, has announced a strategic partnership with Stairway Invest LLC to provide accredited investors with access to Stairway Loan Accounts (SLAs), which offer a personally guaranteed 8 percent per annum return. The SLAs are an SEC-compliant, liquid private product available only to accredited investors, with funds invested globally in real estate, particularly affordable housing and renewable energy, with a primary focus on U.S. markets. Stairway currently holds assets in 16 states and internationally in Australia, Canada, and Brazil.
Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, stated, "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." 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 The earned interest is credited to the client's SLA, and both principal and accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time and returned to the self-directed IRA.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 served accredited investors in real estate for nearly 25 years. The SLA features an 8 percent annual return with daily interest crediting, no fees, and unlimited transactions. Founder and CEO Austin Fowler explained, "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.
