This partnership bridges the gap between traditional retirement accounts and high-yield, liquid private debt instruments. By offering a personally guaranteed return, it provides accredited investors with a lower-risk entry point into global real estate, ultimately modernizing how self-directed IRAs are leveraged for wealth preservation and aggressive capital growth.
Next Generation Trust Company has announced a strategic partnership with Stairway Invest LLC, providing accredited investors with a unique opportunity to diversify their self-directed IRAs. This collaboration introduces Stairway Loan Accounts (SLAs), an SEC-compliant, liquid private product that offers a personally guaranteed 8 percent annual return. By leveraging this partnership, clients can effectively utilize their retirement funds to gain exposure to global real estate and renewable energy markets.
The SLA product stands out for its liquidity and safety, as investments are backed by the personal assets of Stairway’s management team. Accredited investors benefit from daily interest accrual, zero fees, and the flexibility of unlimited transactions. This integration allows Next Generation clients to seamlessly move funds between their self-directed accounts and the high-yield loan accounts, optimizing their portfolio performance through a reliable and transparent financial vehicle.
With nearly 25 years of experience, Stairway Invest continues to support investors through education and professional capital-raising infrastructure. This alliance underscores a commitment to expanding alternative asset access within retirement planning. Investors interested in diversifying beyond traditional stocks and bonds can now utilize this robust, personally guaranteed strategy to enhance their long-term retirement savings with greater stability and consistent growth potential.
