ROSELAND, NJ, October 22, 2026 -- Earlier this year, several leading retail brokerages and financial advice companies began expanding access to cryptocurrency futures, a departure from the traditional stocks, bonds, and mutual funds that clients of brokerage firms usually invest in.
For self-directed investors, however, cryptocurrency and related investments have long been among the many alternative assets they may include in a self-directed IRA. In an article published on the company's website, CEO Jaime Raskulinecz of Next Generation Trust Company explains why independent fee-based financial advisors are working with her firm to expand clients' access to real estate, precious metals, private placements, and so many more alternative assets that self-directed IRAs allow.
"We have found that many financial advisors turn clients away from alternative investments because those assets are not in their usual advisory wheelhouse," said Raskulinecz. "However, by working with Next Generation, independent fee-based advisors retain their assets under management, customary fee structure, and valued client relationships without the burden of handling asset custody, administration, and transaction execution. And because we do not offer investment advice, we never compete with advisors."
Next Generation is a full-service administrator and asset custodian for self-directed IRAs and other plans. Advisors who work with Next Generation also gain opportunities to not only diversify their practice but also expand their own investment portfolios through increased knowledge about alternative assets. Information about the company's advisory structure is here.
Independent fee-based advisors are invited to sign up for emails that provide details about working with the company, as well as education about alternative assets, at NextGenerationTrust.com.
