Next Generation Trust Empowers Financial Advisors to Integrate Alternative Assets into Retirement Portfolios

Jaime Raskulinecz, CEO of Next Generation Trust Company, is urging independent, fee-based financial advisors to expand their service offerings by integrating alternative assets into client retirement plans. Following recent federal shifts allowing alternative investments within employer-sponsored defined contribution plans, the industry is evolving rapidly. Large brokerage firms are beginning to incorporate select assets, but many independent advisors lack the specialized infrastructure to navigate this complex landscape effectively.

Next Generation Trust Company serves as a strategic partner, providing the custody and administrative support necessary to manage non-traditional assets like real estate, precious metals, and private placements. By collaborating with a dedicated custodian, advisors can offer their clients broader diversification strategies without the technical burden of managing these unique transactions in-house. This partnership model ensures that advisors maintain control over their client relationships while expanding their overall investment reach.

Unlike institutional competitors that often seek to capture advisor revenue, Next Generation emphasizes a neutral, supportive role that preserves the advisor’s billing structure. This collaborative approach allows financial professionals to enhance their practice capabilities and capture new revenue streams. By leveraging expert white-glove service, advisors can confidently guide their clients through the nuances of self-directed retirement planning while maintaining a competitive edge in a rapidly changing financial market.
