The Global IRA - US IRA's going international...
The EurAxxess Global IRA
Services are an integrated package of specialized services provided
for our American clients. The objective is to facilitate and structure
your international investments from within your tax-deferred,
self-directed IRA.
Over the years, the IRS has changed numerous rules
related to Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs). These changes
have led to improved incentives for Americans to save for retirement
through their IRAs. Today, more than 2 trillion dollars worth
of assets are held in IRAs.
Utimately, the standard
of living this pool of funds will provide for the IRA owners in
retirement will depend on the retained PURCHASING POWER. Maintaining
a satisfactory level of purchasing power that allows your assets
to grow safely requires an investment strategy that integrates
prudent and conservative international diversification.
Yet, most Americans are not aware of the fact that
they are permitted to include international assets in their IRAs.
Most Americans have unknowingly restricted their IRAs to U.S.
denominated assets. Since most IRA custodians do not accept international
assets in their accounts, it is widely assumed that foreign assets
are not allowed.
This is not true. Quite the contrary. Thousands
of American investors have placed Swiss annuities and International
Certificates of Deposit (ICDs) in their IRA's for many years.
However, these are not the only two authorized foreign investments.
The list also includes foreign mutual funds,
stocks, government and corporate bonds as well as various commodities.
Through the structure of a European bank account (self-directed
or managed), global access to all of these asset classes can be
obtained from within your self-directed IRA.
Our Global IRA Services enable you to diversify
the assets in your self-directed IRA beyond the borders of the
United States. Your self-directed IRA maintains its preferential
tax treatment while we provide a familiar and continuous point
of contact abroad with the objective of facilitating your international
transactions and supporting you in administering your international
asset strategy from within your IRA.
