A Shared Vision
Be Your Own Advisor,
We Trust You.
There's increasing demand to invest in the things we know, causes we believe in, and people we trust, but most of our group's would-be investment capital is held in IRAs and 401(k)s.
Meet Alto. We make it easy and affordable for everyone to invest in alternative assets such as private companies, real estate, loans and precious metals using their IRA and 401(k) savings.
One Mission, One Vision
Self-Directed IRAs Made Easy
We manage our bank accounts and taxes online. Why don't we have the tools available to better manage our retirement assets? Alto's platform provides everyday users with a simple interface to set up, invest with, and manage assets.
Alto Puts The "Self-Directed" Into Self-Directed IRAs
Create an Alto account
In a few easy steps, you can transfer funds from an existing IRA or rollover assets from a current 401(k) into a Self-Directed IRA.
Tell us about your investment
We ask you a few simple questions about the investment you want to make, the terms of the investment, and contact information for the other parties involved.
