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 access to Stairway Loan Accounts (SLAs). The SLAs offer a personally guaranteed 8 percent per annum return, with funds invested in real estate globally, focusing on affordable housing and renewable energy. Stairway Invest currently holds assets in 16 U.S. states as well as in Australia, Canada, and Brazil.
Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, highlighted the appeal of real estate as an alternative asset 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. 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. Interest earned is credited to the SLA, and both principal and accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time and returned to the self-directed IRA.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. The SLA offers interest credited daily, no fees, and unlimited transactions. Founder and CEO Austin Fowler emphasized the security of the investment: “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.”
In addition to the SLA, Stairway Invest provides client education on passive real estate investing through an online forum, professional capital raising services, and a white label service for professional investors who want to use Stairway's infrastructure to raise capital as liquid debt.
