Next Generation Trust Company, a custodian and administrator of self-directed IRAs, has announced a strategic partnership with Stairway Invest LLC, offering accredited investors the opportunity to earn a personally guaranteed 8 percent per annum return through Stairway Loan Accounts (SLAs). The collaboration allows clients to diversify their retirement portfolios with a liquid private product that complies with SEC regulations.
The SLAs are available exclusively to accredited investors and invest funds primarily in real estate globally, with a focus on affordable housing and renewable energy. Stairway Invest's portfolio includes assets in 16 U.S. states as well as Australia, Canada, and Brazil. CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, Jaime Raskulinecz, emphasized the appeal of real estate as an alternative asset and highlighted the simplicity of the SLA product for clients seeking a guaranteed return from their self-directed IRAs.
To participate, accredited investors must first open and fund a self-directed account with Next Generation Trust Company, then allocate a portion of those funds to Stairway Invest. The earned interest is credited to the client's SLA, and both principal and accumulated interest can be withdrawn at any time, returning to the self-directed IRA. Stairway Invest has served accredited investors for nearly 25 years, offering interest credited daily, no fees, and unlimited transactions.
Founder and CEO Austin Fowler explained that managers personally guarantee client principal and interest, backed not only by the assets purchased with deposits but also by their worldwide portfolios. This creates a deep and diverse safety net for investors. Additionally, Stairway Invest provides educational resources on passive real estate investing through an online forum, professional capital raising services, and a white-label service for professional investors who wish to use Stairway's infrastructure to raise capital as liquid debt.
