Author AdvantaIRA Trust Hosts National Webinar: Types of Investments Permissible in a Self-Directed IRA
Fort Myers, FL (PRWEB) May 14, 2015
A self-directed IRA gives investors freedom of choice to purchase alternative assets tax-free. AdvantaIRA Trust is hosting a nationwide webinar on May 21st to discuss the different types of alternative assets that are permissible in a self-directed retirement account.
A self-directed IRA is a tax-sheltered trust set up for retirement by tax code section 408. Typical IRA custodians only hold investments they sell such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. Since AdvantaIRA does not sell investments, investors have complete control allowing more options to diversify the retirement portfolio. When investing using a self-directed IRA gains, income, and sale proceeds grow inside the retirement account tax-free.
Aside from life insurance and collectibles a self-directed IRA can hold a wide array of assets. Alternative assets that will be discussed during the national webinar include real estate, secured promissory notes, single-member LLCs, precious metals, private placements and private stock, and foreign currency exchange and futures trading. “This is a great webinar for investors who are not sure what they can invest in using their self-directed IRA,” says Dave Owens, managing partner of AdvantaIRA Trust.
The webinar on May 21st is open to the public at no charge. Attendees are encouraged to ask questions at the end of the presentation.

Advanta IRA Hosts Lunch and Learn: Self-Directed IRAs and Private Lending Investments
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) October 07, 2014
“Private lending transactions allow self-directed IRAs to perform the same actions a bank or other lending institution does in extending loans for mortgages, trust deeds, secured and unsecured notes, and even for things such as judgments and structured settlements,” says Jack Callahan, Managing Partner of Advanta IRA Services in Largo, Florida. A growing number of investors use these accounts to invest in in nearly any type of lending transaction they deem might prove to be potentially successful.
Self-directed IRAs allow account owners total and complete control in choosing their own investments in things they know and understand. Additionally, these accounts allow a myriad of alternative investments besides private lending options. Real estate, precious metals, oil, gas and timber options, foreign exchange and futures trading are just a few popular non-traditional assets used to build income for retirement. .
In private lending transactions, account owners determine the terms of the loan made by their plans—which is how the IRA makes money. The account owner fully vets and chooses the loan recipient, dictates the terms of the loan, and decides whether to provide a secured or unsecured loan. Secured loans are backed by collateral to protect from default. For example, if a note is extended for a mortgage and the borrower defaults, the IRA can take possession of the home. Unsecured loans typically are offered at a higher rate of interest in lieu of collateral. “Profit from private lending is largely gained through earnings on interest rates and this income flows directly into a self-directed IRA on a tax-free or tax-deferred basis,” says Callahan.
Private lending through a self-directed IRA offers benefits for the borrower, as well. The IRA can often provide funds to the borrower much faster, with more accommodating terms than traditional lending institutions.
Advanta IRA Services is holding this lunch and learn to educate investors on how to successfully use self-directed IRAs to invest in private loans. Investors of all levels are invited and encouraged to attend.
Topics to be discussed:
Various types of loans that Advanta IRA’s clients make using their retirement plans
The benefits that can come with private lending
Disqualified persons and the potential pitfalls of private lending
How an IRA can actually be the borrower on a transaction and non-recourse loans
Event: Lunch and Learn—Be the Bank Using a Self-Directed IRA
Date: October 10, 2014
Time: 12:00 – 1:30 pm EST
Location: 13191 Starkey Road, Ste. 9, Largo, FL 33773
Cost: None; lunch is provided
Register: Before 5 pm on October 9th by contacting Larissa Greene by phone at (727) 581-9853 x 1140, or by emailing lgreene(at)advantairagroup(dot)com.

National Museum of Mathematics Hosts ‘Taste of Math’ with ‘Cooking for Geeks’ Author Jeff Potter and MIT Behavioral Economist Coco Krumme
New York, NY (PRWEB) June 09, 2014
On Wednesday, June 11, the National Museum of Mathematics (MoMath) will host Taste of Math, a special event exploring the math of wine, cheese, and chocolate. Taste of Math will be led by Jeff Potter, who uses science to describe what happens in the kitchen in his book Cooking for Geeks, and MIT behavioral economist Coco Krumme, who uses wine experiments to demonstrate concepts in behavioral economics.
“MoMath is thrilled to host this unique event that not only brings together two of our favorite things, food and math, but also shows people the many surprising and exciting ways math appears in everyday life,” said Glen Whitney, MoMath co-founder and co-executive director. “We created North America’s only math museum in hopes of changing cultural perceptions of mathematics, and events like this certainly help us move toward that goal.”
Throughout the evening, Potter and Krumme will explain how math can help distinguish a cheap wine from an expensive one and how statistics can help one learn a friend’s food preferences or how preferences change over time. Participants will partake in a unique and tasty adventure, examining statistics, probability theory, models, and heuristics with fine wine, cheese, and chocolate. All attendees will have a chance to partake in the sampling as the hosts delve into the science behind the food. SD26 will provide cheese for the evening, while chocolate will be provided by Lindt Chocolate Shop on 5th Avenue at 54th Street.
“Jeff Potter and Coco Krumme are interesting, innovative thinkers, and we are honored to have them join us in revealing some of the fun aspects of mathematics,” said Cindy Lawrence, who joined Whitney in founding the Museum and is now co-executive director. “Math has never been so delicious!”

Chicago-Area Museum Hosts A World Event: Pianist Jeanne Golan to Perform The Complete Piano Sonatas of Viktor Ullmann
Skokie, IL (PRWEB) October 05, 2012
Pianist and Steinway Artist Jeanne Golan will perform The Complete Sonatas of Victor Ullmann in two programs that span the compositional life of Viktor Ullmann, from his days as a leading musical figure in Prague to his internment at Terezin. The performances will take place on Thursday, October 18th at 7pm and Sunday, October 21st at 1:30pm; each concert will last 90 minutes and be followed by a dessert reception. Single performance general public tickets are $ 18, $ 14 for museum members. A $ 5 surcharge will be added to tickets purchased on the day of the performance. Advance purchase recommended; Click here or call 847.967.4852. The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is located at 9603 Woods Drive in Skokie, Illinois.
Viktor Ullmann’s (1898-1944), valiantly creative career culminated in the Nazi concentration camp of Theresienstadt/Terezín before he was sent to his death in Auschwitz. Golan’s double-CD set ¬– the first to put all seven of Ullmann’s piano sonatas together in more than two decades – was released by Steinway & Sons/Arkiv Music on August 28, 2012.
In a testimonial by James Conlon for Golan’s recording, the conductor – renowned Music Director of the Ravina Festival and dedicated champion of music by composers persecuted and displaced by the Nazis – says: “Viktor Ullmann and others of his generation are less known to us today not because of any lack of musical quality, but because their voices were stifled by a regime and then pushed aside once again in the clamor of post-war cultural advancement. This excellent and important recording by Jeanne Golan will do much to generate greater appreciation for Ullmann’s music among musicians and music lovers everywhere. I hope other musicians will follow her example by immersing themselves in the music of Ullmann and, in so doing, discover the work of a true 20th-century master.”
Rick Hirschhaut, Executive Director of the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center, notes, “We are privileged to give voice to this brilliant composer whose work was silenced by the Nazi regime. Through the magnificent artistry of Jeanne Golan, the music of Viktor Ullmann can now be enjoyed and experienced by all who join us for these momentous concerts.”
The Massachusetts-bred, New York-based Golan fully immersed herself in Ullmann’s music and life for this ambitious project. Golan points out that Ullmann’s range as a composer was extraordinary: “He had this capacity to tap into all these different styles yet still sound like himself,” she says. “Ullmann was such a curious musician. Each sonata is a sort of experiment in a certain sound world, as he explores what’s suggested in folk songs or Mahler and Bartók. But it’s never derivative ¬¬¬– the music comes out as Ullmann. He had a real sense of play.
His is a very sad story, and that was a horrific time, obviously. But along with distressed emotion in his music, there is humor and often a real exuberance, a reveling in creativity.”
Philip L. and Ellen V. Glass are the Presenting Sponsor for The Complete Piano Sonatas of Viktor Ullmann.
The Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center is the largest facility in the Midwest dedicated to preserving the memories of those lost in the Holocaust and to teaching current generations to fight hatred, indifference and genocide in today’s world.
