Inflation & why Do I Need Hard Assets? How Do I Add Hard Assets to my IRA?

 Hard assets represent things that can be touched and that have concrete values. Hard assets can also be referred to as real assets because they are physical in nature and not conceptual like stocks and bonds. Oil, natural gas, gold, and land are all examples of hard assets. Hard assets can be used to produce other goods – metal in cars – or to generate income – real estate. Because hard assets represent tangible things that are in demand, they usually keep pace with inflation. Further, hard assets have little correlation with financial assets, such as stocks and bonds. Real estate, in particular, has long been a store of value and has generated income for investors in even the worst of economic times. Real estate is still cheap and great opportunities exist to add this hard asset to your IRA.
Hard assets have little correlation with financial assets, so they can help reduce the risk in your portfolio. When your stocks go down, your hard assets can go up. Hard assets can also provide inflation protection and generate income. You can collect income from real estate and protect your buying power with investments in gold and other metals. Investors can buy hard assets via financial assets or directly through their IRAs. Real estate investment trusts (REITs), Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are examples of financial assets that give investors access to hard assets. Unlike other firms, Mundo Financial offers its clients the ability to purchase real estate directly through their IRAs. Lots, raw land, rental properties, and commercial real estate can all be added to your IRA with the help of Mundo Financial.
