PGI SelfDirected assists individuals in establishing self-directed IRA or 401K plans that permit the account owner to have full control of their retirement assets and how they choose to invest.. This type of account permits individuals to invest retirement assets into asset classes other than stocks, bonds and mutual funds....this typically may involve investments in real estate but is open to so much more. While all IRS and DOL regulations must be adhered to In establishing and executing these plans, clients have direct control (commonly marketed as "checkbook" control) of their retirement funds to invest as they believe fit. They choose what they wish to invest in...as long as they adhere to all IRS and DOL regulations. PGI does not offer tax, legal, financial or investment advice. Rather, PGI establishes such plans so that our clients have this ability to self-direct.
