The Advantages

Guidant's Auriga™ provides an investment platform where you can manage your retirement investments with the same flexibility and control you use when managing your non-retirement investments. Guidant's Auriga™ includes a self-directed account and a customized and conforming Limited Liability Company (LLC), which gives you:

• MORE INVESTMENT OPTIONS Use your retirement funds to invest in real estate, tax liens, businesses, loans and more! Now you can truly diversify your investment portfolio, all inside the same account structure.
• LIMITED CUSTODIAL FEES Guidant's preferred custodial relationships offer its clients minimal annual fees. Regardless of the account size, our clients pay the same low custodial maintenance fee of $130 per year. In addition, Guidant's structure all but eliminates transactional, asset-based and holding fees. This can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars per year.
• CHECKBOOK CONTROL Participate in time-sensitive investments, including foreclosures and tax liens, without the time restrictions of the custodial paperwork process.
• SUPPORT TO SUCCEED Guidant will ensure you receive the support you need to invest confidently and profitably. The Auriga™ program includes time with a specialized attorney and coaching from a self-directed account manager to ensure you steer clear of prohibited transactions and toward your retirement goals.
