Guidant’s iDirect allows you to use your self-directed IRA or self-directed 401k funds to purchase alternative investments such as real estate, tax liens, private loans and more. The service includes a self-directed IRA account and a customized Limited Liability Company (LLC).

One of the greatest benefits of using iDirect is having complete checkbook control of your retirement funds. Being in the driver’s seat of your finances lets you participate in time-sensitive investments, including foreclosures and tax liens, without the time restrictions imposed in a traditional custodial process. What’s better—because the structure all but eliminates transactional, asset-based and holding fees, Guidant’s clients pay a low custodial maintenance fee, which can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars each year.

Guidant Financial is not a self-directed IRA custodian, but rather a self-directed IRA facilitator, providing greater flexibility and control over your investments.

Finally, with iDirect, you will receive the support you need to invest confidently and profitably. Guidant’s service includes time with a specialized attorney and coaching from an iDirect account manager to ensure you avoid prohibited transactions and continue reaching toward your retirement investment goals.
