S·C·O·R·S Monthly Meetup: Ramez Fakhoury ~ Wealth Beyond Wall Street

Most retirement investors are shown the same familiar choices: stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

But those are not the only options.

At the September S·C·O·R·S Meetup, Ramez Fakhoury, Vice President of IRA Club, will explain how self-directed retirement accounts can expand the range of investments available inside an IRA.

This presentation will introduce attendees to the structure of a self-directed IRA, the role of the custodian, and the opportunities and responsibilities that come with taking greater control of retirement assets.

• How self-directed IRAs expand investment choices beyond Wall Street
• Why investors are exploring alternative approaches to long-term retirement wealth
• How traditional retirement-account restrictions and fee structures may affect investors
• The roles of the investor, custodian, and investment provider
• A practical three-step roadmap for taking greater control of your retirement future

This conversation is designed for real estate investors, private lenders, business owners, entrepreneurs, and anyone interested in learning how alternative assets may fit within a retirement strategy.

Ramez Fakhoury is an entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in hospitality, financial services, and real estate.

As Vice President of IRA Club, Ramez is committed to educating investors about opportunities beyond conventional retirement investing. His work focuses on helping individuals better understand self-directed retirement accounts and the choices available to them through self-direction.

With an emphasis on education and white-glove customer service, Ramez helps investors navigate the process while taking a more active role in shaping their financial future.

IRA Club was created to support self-directed investors seeking greater clarity around alternative investments, retirement-account rules, and the responsibilities that come with self-direction.

Today, IRA Club serves thousands of members and administers self-directed alternative investments while helping clients understand the account-opening, funding, and investment-administration process.

IRA Club does not provide investment advice. Its role is to administer the retirement account and help members pursue investments of their own choosing.

S·C·O·R·S brings together real estate investors, private lenders, entrepreneurs, and professionals for conversations centered on education, connection, growth, and giving back.

Each meetup is designed to provide practical information, meaningful relationships, and ideas attendees can apply to their businesses and investments.
