Guidant Financial Group Blog
Monday
TheStreet.com came out with an article today about non-traditional IRA investments (see Control Your Nest Egg, but Watch For Risk). Guidant was highlighted in the article, providing information on the increase in private lending in an IRA.
The article did an excellent job of pointing out some of the benefits for a self-directed IRA, such as the ability to control your investments and to invest in what you believe will make you a better return.
The article also pointed out that there can be some risks involved when investing with a self-directed IRA, if you don’t do your homework first and if you neglect to work with a competent provider. Things to watch out for include investing with disqualified parties and benefiting personally from your IRAs investments.
This is also why our highly trained staff is readily available for you to run your proposed investments by; we’re committed to proactively helping you avoid any trouble-spots.
It should also be mentioned that Guidant is the only company that provides outside legal counsel as a part of its fee. This means that only with Guidant will you get time with a qualified tax attorney to go over your investments, without any additional charge.
We are honored the TheStreet.com took the time to talk to Guidant about these exciting investment options for an IRA, and we hope it helps underscore the reasons why it is important to work with a competent self-directed IRA provider . . . like Guidant!
Happy investing!

What I found interesting is that Guidant had rolled 1.1 billion with just 5,000 accounts and Entrust (who they compared) had to roll 50,000+ accounts to get 3 billion. That seems like Guidant rolls much larger accounts - was that correct or am I missing something?
It is very likely that Entrust's clients are rolling a much smaller dollar amount to Entrust's accounts. Guidant's average client rolls around $200,000 into Guidant's self-directed IRA account. Because of the way Guidant's accounts are structured (with an LLC and checkbook control), we tend to attract more savvy investors who have larger accounts and can see the benefits of checkbook control for their multiple investments. Some of these benefits include no asset-based fees, no transaction fees and no approval requirements. For more information on this, see our posting on 07.03.08 called "Benefits of a Truly Self-Directed IRA."
