In 1999 Peter Thiel, Founder of PayPal, used his self-directed IRA to purchase shares of his
start-up at $.001/share. Not long thereafter the value of PayPal grew exponentially and Mr. Thiel
became the proud owner of his very own tax-free investment bank. Congressional scrutiny and
IRS enforcement has made some (but not all) of Mr. Thiel’s strategies illegal for the rest of us.

Today, you will learn:

● The best self-directed vehicle for Private Equity Investments (PEI)
● The current landscape for acceptable structuring of PEI’s
● How to identify the best risk adjusted PEI’s
● Why Cannabis legalization can keep you ahead of the PEI regulations

Although current regulations look to limit the size and structure of “Mega IRA’s”, there is still
plenty of opportunity to amass sizable wealth inside your self-directed vehicles. Come prepared
with an open mind and ready to take notes!!
