RevUp + AltoIRA = Tax Advantages on Investment Profit
RevUp's model is unique in how we offer investors a quicker turn on capital and a faster path to liquidity than other platforms. After six funds—and a history of returning profits back to our investors—we often field questions on how to best manage the tax liabilities of those profits.
To address this, RevUp began supporting investments through self-directed IRAs in 2022. Self-directed IRAs offer investors a tax-advantaged vehicle through which they can make investments into RevUp funds.
This year, RevUp has partnered with AltoIRA, a leading self-directed IRA platform, to streamline our self-directed IRA investments. RevUp Fund 2023 is a featured offering on the Alto platform, making it easy for Alro users to seamlessly invest into our funds and utilize the tax benefits that Alto offers.
What's the benefit of a self-directed IRA? For funds like RevUp, investor returns begin 12 months after a fund closes and continues until the fund reaches full maturity. Profits—dividends received the return of invested capital—are treated as ordinary income by the IRS. When those returns are distributed to an IRA, they are tax deferred until withdrawn, and then subject to the tax disbursement rules of the type of IRA and the tax situation of the individual investor.
For RevUp investors, self-directed IRAs have a particular advantage because of the layering effect of RevUp’s annual fund model, and the dividend streams that are generated from investment in years 2-7. After subscription to a series of RevUp annual funds, an investor may generate enough returns to fund their next subscription, essentially “recycling” their investment without putting in additional new capital. This effect can be accelerated by the tax-advantaged nature of the IRA.
Considering a self-directed IRA for your RevUp investment? Please contact your tax advisor to explore whether this approach is right for you. However, RevUp Funds can accept investments via the IRA platform of your choice.
