“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What is a self-directed IRA (SDIRA)?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “A self-directed IRA is an IRA structure that allows the account holder to invest in a broader range of assets than most standard brokerage IRAs, while still requiring a qualified custodian or trustee and adherence to IRS rules.”
}
},
{
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “Can a self-directed IRA invest in private placements?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Yes. A self-directed IRA can hold private placement investments when the custodian can support the asset type and the investment is executed in the name of the IRA, subject to all IRA compliance requirements.”
}
},
{
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What are prohibited transactions and disqualified persons?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Prohibited transactions generally involve self-dealing or improper benefit to the account holder or related parties. Disqualified persons are certain related individuals and entities that the IRA cannot transact with under IRS rules.”
}
},
{
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What are UBTI and UDFI, and why do they matter?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “UBTI (Unrelated Business Taxable Income) and UDFI (Unrelated Debt-Financed Income) are tax concepts that can apply to IRAs in certain operating business or leveraged investment structures, potentially creating current-year tax liability inside a retirement account.”
}
},
{
“@type”: “Question”,
“name”: “What should investors evaluate before placing a private deal inside an SDIRA?”,
“acceptedAnswer”: {
“@type”: “Answer”,
“text”: “Investors commonly review the offering structure, sponsor quality, fee and liquidity terms, documentation, valuation and reporting requirements, and potential compliance or tax pitfalls, including prohibited transaction risk and UBTI/UDFI exposure.”
