A new book out by Martha Maeda, “The Complete Guide to IRAs and IRA Investing: Wealth-Building Strategies Revealed,” features a forward by Guidant Cofounder David Nilssen.
“The refreshing thing about this book,” says Nilssen, “is that it is a comprehensive guide to both traditional and non-traditional ways of investing.”

Almost all guides to IRAs and IRA investing focus on traditional investment options, and do not provide resources for investors who may want to consider alternative assets as a part of their portfolio. Furthermore, many guides are written with material so dense and industry lingo-laced that the average investor cannot grasp any of the concepts presented.

Save a couple standouts, like IRA Wealth and Retire Rich, resources for alternative investors are limited. Thankfully, Maeda’s new book will easily fill a gap currently left between guides for traditional investment strategies and those for more non-traditional investors.

“I am honored to have written the forward for such a comprehensive book,” says Nilssen. “This book was the perfect opportunity to draw attention to the alternative investor’s perspective. I hope the tone I set in the forward encourages readers to have an open mind about expanding their investment strategies to include both traditional and non-traditional assets.”
