IRA Financial Combines Traditional and Alternative Investing to One Platform

IRA Financial is allowing investors to access alternative assets and traditional investments within a single self-directed retirement account for one flat fee.

Powered by Interactive Brokers, the capability allows IRA Financial clients to trade stocks, ETFs, options, bonds, currencies, and mutual funds, directly alongside alternative assets such as real estate, private equity, precious metals, and cryptocurrencies. The experience is designed to give investors greater diversification, control, and convenience over how they build and manage their retirement portfolios.

“Our clients don’t want to juggle multiple platforms just to build a diversified retirement strategy, they want one place where they can manage both their alts and traditional investments,” said Tyler Northrup, CEO of IRA Financial. “This new capability gives them exactly that: real-time trading for traditional assets in the same tax-advantaged, self-directed retirement account where they also have the ability to invest in nearly unlimited alternative assets.”
