Next Generation Trust Company Partners with Stairway Invest to Offer Accredited Investors 8% Return via Self-Directed IRAs

Next Generation Trust Company, a custodian and administrator of self-directed IRAs, has announced a strategic partnership with Stairway Invest LLC to offer accredited investors a new investment option. The collaboration enables clients with self-directed IRAs at Next Generation to invest in Stairway Loan Accounts (SLAs), which provide a personally guaranteed 8 percent per annum return. This move aims to help investors diversify their retirement portfolios with a liquid, SEC-compliant private product.

According to Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, the partnership addresses the growing demand for alternative assets in self-directed IRAs. "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. Accredited investors must first open and fund a self-directed account with Next Generation Trust Company, then use a portion of those funds to invest in Stairway Invest. The earned interest is credited to the client's SLA, and the principal and accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time and returned to the self-directed IRA.

Stairway Invest, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Reseda, California, has been working with accredited investors in real estate for nearly 25 years. The SLA funds are invested globally in real estate, with a priority on affordable housing and renewable energy, primarily in U.S. markets but also in Australia, Canada, and Brazil. The product offers interest credited daily, no fees, and unlimited transactions. Austin Fowler, founder and CEO of Stairway Invest, 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. Stairway Invest stands behind every manager, providing a deep and diverse safety net."

In addition to the SLA, Stairway provides client education on professional passive real estate investing through its online forum, professional capital raising, and a white label service for professional investors to use Stairway's infrastructure to raise capital as liquid debt.
