ASHEVILLE, NC / ACCESSWIRE / April 25, 2020 / Investors who want to save as much money for retirement as possible sometimes turn to Self-Directed Roth IRAs, according to a recent post at American IRA. The Self-Directed IRA administration firm detailed why investors enjoy the tax benefits of Roth IRAs-and how those strategies might work with investing in a Self-Directed arrangement.
In a Roth IRA, as the post noted, investors can invest after-tax money that can then grow in the account tax-free. This affords certain benefits to the investor, such as the ability to withdraw the money they've invested (without withdrawing the growth on those investments). In that way, a Roth IRA can sometimes serve as an emergency fund of sorts, as long as investors know how to use it properly.
But this is just one benefit, as the post notes. Roth IRAs also allow long-term investment growth because there's no requirement to begin withdrawing at retirement age. For investors who want to utilize a strong income later in life, that can mean allowing plenty of tax-free growth without the RMDs (required minimum distributions) of a Traditional IRA or a 401(k).
The result is an account that's flexible, robust, and capable of doing a lot for investors in retirement. In addition, the post noted that a Self-Directed Roth IRA allows investors greater access to more broadly acceptable asset classes. For instance, a Self-Directed Roth IRA investor can invest in assets such as precious metals and doesn't have to rely on the stock market for returns.
"There's a lot of freedom here," noted Jim Hitt, CEO of American IRA. "I think that's what attracts so many people to the Roth IRA in the first place. But with a Self-Directed Roth IRA, there's even more freedom to do what an investor wants. That's not to say that there are no restrictions. But for investors who know the rules and the benefits to investing this way, opening a Self-Directed Roth IRA can be one of the best decisions they ever make."
