Are there a lot of people who have self directed IRA accounts?
The self-directed industry is growing very strong and is expected to see around $2 trillion enter the market in the next two years. There are over 45 million retirement account holders, and less than 4% of those are held in nontraditional assets. This number is expected to grow significantly over the next five years as more individuals and their financial advisers attain a greater awareness of self-directed IRAs.
