Here at Entrust New Direction, our clients are constantly making interesting investments that range the gambit from front-loading tractors to foreign real estate to gold bullion. Perhaps as a result of investment scandals like Enron and Madoff, a growing number of investors are looking for investments that work not only for them, but also for the greater good. So it made sense to us to celebrate Earth Day this year by featuring an IRS-permitted green investment that potentially combats global warming, rebuilds rainforests, and builds your retirement savings at the same time.
Watch the webinar now.
Socially Responsible Investments can be on a global scale like this example of rebuilding rainforests, but they also can be simple local solutions. Even purchasing and renovating a foreclosure in your local neighborhood can make a difference in your community. Do you have a favorite non-profit organization? Did you know that you can use your IRA or 401k funds to lend them money for important projects? Or perhaps the growing market of micro-loans has captured your interest? IRA and 401k funds are perfectly acceptable sources of capital for those as well. So next time you read the news and it raises your blood pressure to the point where you really want to do something, think about how you can get money you already have involved in your favorite cause and earn a decent return at the same time. Many of our clients are already doing it and so can you!
