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 with access to Stairway Loan Accounts (SLAs), which offer a personally guaranteed 8 percent per annum return. The collaboration enables investors to use funds from their self-directed IRAs to invest in a liquid, SEC-compliant product that focuses on real estate globally, with an emphasis on affordable housing and renewable energy.
Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, highlighted the significance of the partnership, noting that real estate remains one of the most popular alternative assets 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.
To participate, accredited investors must first open and fund a self-directed account with Next Generation Trust Company. A portion of those funds can then be allocated to Stairway Invest. Interest earned is credited to the client's SLA, and both principal and accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time and returned to the self-directed IRA. Stairway Invest has worked with accredited investors in real estate for nearly 25 years. The SLA offers daily interest crediting, 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,” he said. Stairway Invest's primary focus is on U.S. markets, currently holding assets in 16 states, along with investments in Australia, Canada, and Brazil.
In addition to the SLA, Stairway Invest offers educational resources on professional passive real estate investing through its 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 under their own brand.
