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). The SLAs offer a personally guaranteed 8 percent per annum return and are designed to help investors diversify their retirement portfolios through alternative assets.
Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, emphasized the importance of this collaboration for clients seeking to invest in real estate, which remains one of the most popular alternative assets in self-directed IRAs. Accredited investors must first open and fund a self-directed account with Next Generation, 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 The earned interest is credited to the client's SLA, and both principal and accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time, returning to the self-directed IRA.
The SLAs are an SEC-compliant, liquid private product available only to accredited investors. Funds are invested globally in real estate, with a focus on affordable housing in the U.S. and renewable energy. Stairway Invest currently holds assets in 16 U.S. states as well as in Australia, Canada, and Brazil. According to founder and CEO Austin Fowler, the company's managers personally guarantee client principal and interest, backed by their own worldwide portfolios and the business itself, providing a deep safety net.
Stairway Invest has been working with accredited investors in real estate for nearly 25 years. The SLA offers interest credited daily, no fees, and unlimited transactions. Additionally, Stairway provides educational resources on 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.
