Take Control of Your Retirement
with a Self-Directed IRA
At
FreedomTrust, we empower investors to take greater control over their retirement savings through
Self-Directed IRAs (SDIRAs) and
IRA-owned LLC structures.
Our goal is to give you the freedom to diversify your retirement portfolio — while maintaining professional oversight, compliant administration, and secure custody.
Why a Self-Directed IRA?
A Self-Directed IRA allows you to invest in a broader range of assets beyond traditional stocks and bonds, including:
- Real estate and private placements
- Gold, silver, and other precious metals
- Bitcoin and digital assets
- Private lending, startups, and more
We help you navigate the process so your retirement account remains compliant with IRS rules and structured for long-term success.
