Take the alternative route to financial freedom

An Alto IRA offers our partner's investors the autonomy to direct tax-advantaged retirement dollars into an alternative investing strategy.

Investing in alternatives with an Alto IRA aligns long-term investment horizons with saving for retirement, an overlap in investment strategy we refer to as duration matching. Since retirement funds are tax-advantaged,1 using them can be a way to keep as much of your investment earnings as possible.

1 Traditional IRA funds are generally tax-deferred, Roth IRA funds are generally tax-free subject to qualified withdrawals. IRS rules and regulations apply.

Let’s look at an example. Consider a $10,000 investment that is now worth 10 times more than you put in.

Example is for illustration purposes only and does not represent a specific past, current or future investment.
*Assumes an income tax rate of 12% at the time of withdrawal as income tax rates generally decrease upon retirement.
**Assumes a long term capital gains rate of 20%
Actual tax rates are subject to each tax payer’s personal situation and circumstances.
