UDirect IRA

08/31/2026

Alternative assets in a Self-Directed IRA can potentially outperform traditional investments, although returns are never guaranteed. Read the uDirect IRA Services blog post and find out how Self-Directed IRAs allow investors to hold assets such as real estate, private loans, private companies, and precious metals, providing additional opportunities for diversification, income, and long-term tax-advantaged growth. https://udirectira.com/alternative-assets-self-directed-ira-beyond-wall-street/

A self-directed IRA can open the door to investments many people never associate with retirement accounts.

That can include certain investments in privately held companies, whether structured as debt or equity.

The important part is understanding the rules and structuring the transaction correctly.

💼 Who Makes Contributions to a 401(k)?

401(k) contributions can come from different sources. Employees can contribute a portion of their paycheck, while employers may also make contributions through matching or other employer contributions.

The 401(k) custodian or plan administrator generally handles the administration and recordkeeping of the account—not the funding itself.

Understanding how contributions work can help you make better decisions about your retirement strategy.

A self-directed IRA is not a third tax category next to Traditional and Roth.

Traditional and Roth describe how the account is taxed.

“Self-directed” describes the broader investment choices the account can hold through a custodian that supports alternative assets.

That distinction clears up a lot of confusion.

💰 401(k) Contribution Limits Can Depend on Your Age

Did you know your age can affect how much you’re allowed to contribute to a 401(k)?

Once you reach the eligible age for catch-up contributions, you may be able to contribute more than the standard annual limit. This can be a valuable opportunity to increase your retirement savings as you get closer to retirement.

Understanding contribution limits and catch-up rules can help you make the most of your retirement strategy.
