Put your money to work.

Start investing as soon as your account is funded. With a Self-Directed IRA, you can invest in a variety of alternative assets including real estate, private equity, startups, cryptocurrency, precious metals, and more—subject to IRS guidelines.

The IRS limits certain investments and transactions in self-directed accounts. It’s up to you to follow the rules, but we’ve got resources to help. Check out our Prohibited Transactions FAQ and talk to your tax or legal advisor to stay on track.

The beautiful thing about Rocket Dollar is you can invest in unusual assets (real property, venture capital, private equity) and route it through Rocket Dollar and you’re self-empowered to self-direct those assets.

I could not find another organization that could do this as efficiently and in that price range. They're very responsive and in the way they communicate to me I find helpful, direct, and they put it in terms that I understood.

I chose Rocket Dollar because it was a very simple, streamlined process; very easy to use, well-managed. I didn't have to look at other companies, it just fulfilled what I needed.
