Slow Housing Market Has Little Effect on Investment

Bellevue, Wash. (October 8, 2007) – Guidant Financial Group, a leading provider of self-directed IRA services, recently conducted a survey that provided valuable data on self-directed investment trends. Results gave insight into which investments are getting the most traction in this niche market, given the current economic situation.

The survey was completed by nearly 1000 self-directed IRA holders and individuals actively seeking self-directed IRAs across the country. Respondents were asked, among other things, what types of investments they were considering with a self-directed 401k. Despite the housing market experiencing its first downturn in several years, Guidant’s survey results reveal that investors still consider real estate as their top investment option.
