[62]
best Roth IRA accounts for new investors
[65]
I'm also going to share what is one
[68]
place that you have to avoid at all
[70]
costs are cha
[71]
let's begin what's going on y'all
[77]

teaching you new ways to grow well that

[85]
Jeff Rosen
[86]
here we are talking about the Roth IRA
[88]
once again but we were talking about
[90]
because it is still important if people
[92]
want to start the Roth IRA they want to
[95]
get that tax-free money they just don't
[97]
know where to go she'll meet the money
[100]
in a previous video where I talk about
[102]
Roth IRA rules for beginners I share a
[105]
comment from a subscriber named Johnny G
[107]
and with Johnny G he had opened up a
[110]
Roth IRA account at a credit union and
[113]
after having this account open for two
[115]
years he hadn't made any interest now
[118]
there's one thing that you need to know
[119]
about Johnny G and that is is that he is
[123]
a subscriber to the channel so if you
[126]
are not like Johnny G it is time to be
[129]
so go ahead and hit that subscribe
[130]
button and that notification bell so
[132]
that you are
[133]
in the know when the next wealth hacker
[135]
video comes out now I know that Johnny G
[136]
is not alone in this and that's why I
[138]
wanted to share what are my six favorite
[140]
places open birth IRA if you are a
[142]
beginner and with these six I broke them
[144]
down into three different categories we
[147]
have hands-on hon zone hands off get
[149]
your hands off me and alternative I
[154]
don't have anything funny for
[155]
alternative my bad I'm sorry so let's go
[156]
and take a look at the first two options
[157]
that are more hands-on the first option
[160]
I want to share is Robin Hood I
[162]
absolutely love Robin Hood they are a
[164]
disruptor in the investment space I mean
[167]
they are wait what what do you mean
[170]
seriously oh that's right Robin Hood
[174]
doesn't they don't offer Roth IRAs ah my
[177]
bad
[180]
there are so many different Roth IRA
[183]
options and the fact that Robin Hood
[185]
still doesn't offer any IRAs I don't get
[189]
it I don't get okay since Robin Hood
[191]
isn't an option we'll go ahead and go
[193]
with real option number one and that is
[195]
TD Ameritrade so one of the reasons why
[197]
I'm including TD Ameritrade with hands
[199]
on is that if you actually want to visit
[202]
a local branch they have over 275
[205]
branches across the u.s. so yes if you
[208]
want to go talk to someone physically
[210]
that is an option but if you want to go
[213]
purely online that is also an option
[215]
with them as well now a common theme
[217]
that you're going to hear with many of
[218]
the Roth IRA providers that I share
[220]
today is that they have zero account
[223]
minimums they have zero to get started
[226]
so you don't need a thousand or ten
[228]
thousand dollars to get your account
[229]
open and also they have zero trading
[232]
cost that means zero commissions on
[234]
stocks and ETFs now we do have Robin
[238]
Hood to thank for being a disrupter in
[241]
the financial space to force these other
[243]
investment providers to slash their
[246]
commissions
[246]
so this is where TD Ameritrade is a good
[249]
hands-on option if you do want to buy a
[251]
stock that's not traded on the New York
[253]
Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq if it's
[255]
considered an over-the-counter security
[256]
then you are gonna have to pay $6.95 for
[260]
those shares but the reality is that if
[262]
you're a beginner that's not where we're
[264]
starting you'll want to start with the
[265]
ETF you'll want to start with the blue
[266]
chip so dividend-paying stocks that's
[268]
where you want to begin not these
[269]
over-the-counter penny stocks at the
[271]
beginning this video I shared that you
[272]
could qualify for some cash rewards so a
[274]
TD Ameritrade they will actually give
[276]
you up to a six hundred dollar cash
[278]
bonus if you meet certain requirements
[280]
now some of these bonuses aren't really
[282]
meant for beginners but for example if
[284]
you have over twenty-five thousand
[286]
dollars that you want to deposit or
[287]
transfer in they'll give you a one
[289]
hundred dollar bonus that goes on up to
[291]
three hundred dollars if you have over a
[293]
hundred thousand and then a six hundred
[295]
dollars if you deposit two hundred fifty
[296]
thousand dollars or more now you may not
[298]
qualify for the higher cash bonuses but
[300]
you may qualify for the smaller one and
[302]
you know what a hundred dollars is still
[303]
a hundred dollars and that is money in
[306]
the bank
[306]
I'll take that one hundred dollars and
[308]
put it in my bank option number two if
[309]
you want more hands-on in choosing your
[311]
own
[312]
investments is a lie invest so a lie is
[315]
very similar with TD Ameritrade they do
[317]
not have the physical branches but they
[319]
do offer once again zero account
[322]
minimums zero to get started and also
[324]
zero transaction cost with most stocks
[326]
and ETFs now the one con with allies if
[329]
you do want to buy mutual funds they
[331]
charge $9.95 for every single mutual
[335]
fund transaction so they don't have any
[337]
no transaction fee mutual funds
[339]
whereas with TD Ameritrade they offer a
[341]
ton of mutual funds where you can buy
[343]
them with zero transaction cost so if
[345]
buying mutual funds is something that
[346]
you are exploring then I would prefer TD
[349]
Ameritrade / Ally now Ally is also
[351]
offering some nice rewards up to $3,500
[355]
in cash if you meet certain criteria now
[358]
we probably aren't going to qualify for
[360]
the higher tiers but if you're between 0
[362]
and 25,000 they'll give you $50 if
[365]
you're between 25 and 50 thousand we'll
[368]
go ahead and give you an extra 200 and
[371]
as we all know that two hundred and
[373]
fifty dollars is still money in the book
[375]
those are my two favorite options if you
[378]
want more of a hands-on experience more
[380]
hands-on control in choosing the
[382]
investments inside your Roth IRA now if
[385]
you want more of a hands-off approach
[386]
and that you want to let somebody else
[388]
decide what you actually invest into
[391]
then these are my two providers that you
[393]
need to check out the first option is
[396]
Robin Hood take it to put how Robin Hood
[401]
why don't you offer Roth I race I kid I
[403]
kid
[404]
seriously though Robin seriously though
[407]
Robin Hood know one day I'm gonna get it
[410]
no not Robin Hood betterment so with
[412]
betterment if you don't want to choose
[414]
your investments then betterment is my
[416]
most favorite option why is that is
[418]
because with betterment all you have to
[420]
choose is your investing or saving goal
[424]
are you saving for a house are you
[426]
saving for a large purchase are you
[427]
saving for retirement are you saving for
[430]
just the save are you investing to build
[432]
wealth with betterment all you have to
[434]
do is fill out a few questions that
[436]
determine what is your savings goal and
[438]
they will build your portfolio for you
[441]
now they are primarily using
[443]
exchange-traded funds ETFs to build this
[446]
portfolio and to manage that portfolio
[448]
for you they will charge you a very
[451]
small fee it is point to 5% or if you
[455]
want to quake that $2 for every $10,000
[459]
that you invest with them they're going
[460]
to charge you 25 bucks and for those
[463]
that want just a little bit more control
[466]
on their investments betterment came out
[469]
with a solution just for you they now
[471]
offer what's called flexible portfolios
[474]
so with these flexible portfolios
[476]
they'll start with either a betterment
[478]
strategy or a strategy from another
[480]
investment advisor and with that you can
[483]
customize it to your liking give me some
[486]
of that give me some of this one I'll
[487]
take that one give me a lot like that
[489]
give me some of that for those that are
[490]
completely comfortable with a hands-off
[493]
approach
[494]
guess what betterment has a solution for
[496]
you too
[497]
for an extra 15 percentage points so 0.4
[501]
percent or $40 on every $10,000 invested
[505]
they have a certified financial planner
[508]
that will talk with you that will meet
[510]
with you virtually to get to know your
[512]
situation and make recommendations based
[514]
off of that so yes you can go to sleep
[518]
at night knowing that you've talked to
[520]
professional and that you are doing the
[522]
right thing thank you better man I'm
[524]
gonna sleep so good tonight are the
[526]
second option for hands off is another
[527]
favorite of mine it is m1 finance now
[531]
with m1 finance I can actually put them
[533]
in the hands-free category because you
[536]
can buy individual stocks you can buy
[538]
fractional shares of stocks and or ETFs
[541]
with you guessed it zero transaction
[543]
cost so that is purely an option for you
[546]
to butt with m1 finance they also offer
[549]
what is called expert Pais now you can
[552]
build your own pie with your ETFs and
[554]
stocks but for many of you that might be
[556]
overwhelming I beat
[558]
so these are PI that are built by them
[561]
or other investment professionals that
[563]
are using either stocks and or ETS very
[566]
similar what we've talked about with
[568]
betterment the big difference between
[569]
the two is that betterment does a better
[572]
job get a better job
[574]
okay pun intended or not intended hi
[577]
Donna
[577]
I've got you on my radar of managing
[582]
your risk depending on what your goals
[584]
are
[585]
so with these expert PI's you're just
[586]
choosing an investment strategy and
[588]
chances are it could be predominantly
[590]
all in stock so you're going to see more
[593]
of a rollercoaster ride
[595]
in the event that the market does so
[597]
either way both betterment and m1
[599]
finance offer a true hands-free option
[603]
to start investing inside a Roth IRA
[606]
with no pressure of choosing your own
[610]
investments and they don't have any
[612]
account minimums so what's you're
[615]
waiting for get started you're crazy if
[617]
you don't open for Roth IRA all right
[620]
we're down the homestretch the last two
[622]
options for Roth IRA investors now these
[625]
two are on the alternative side and all
[628]
that basically means is that we're not
[630]
talking about the stock market with
[632]
stocks and ETFs a mutual funds so we're
[634]
talking about alternative investment
[636]
strategies option number one is fun rise
[639]
so with fun rise this is actually an
[641]
investment platform I have talked about
[643]
before with fund rise it allows you to
[645]
become a real estate investor without
[648]
actually having to purchase physical
[650]
property or manage physical property now
[653]
with fund rise they do have an account
[655]
minimum so it takes five hundred dollars
[657]
to get the account open since we're not
[659]
talking about traditional stock market
[662]
investments here fund rise has to use an
[664]
outside custodian for their IRAs and
[668]
they use millennium Trust Company it's
[670]
not millennial trust company because if
[672]
it was bulimia you actually might like
[674]
that but no it's millennium Trust
[676]
Company and because of that they charge
[679]
a one hundred and twenty five dollar
[681]
custodial fee now this is pretty common
[684]
when you're dealing with non-traditional
[686]
investments I've seen other outside
[688]
custodians charge two hundred fifty five
[690]
hundred up to a thousand
[692]
dollars on their custodial fees for
[694]
these non-traditional investments so if
[696]
you are dead set on becoming a real
[698]
estate investor inside your Roth IRA
[700]
then fund rise is the option for you
[703]
the second option with the alternative
[705]
options in Roth IRAs is Lending Club
[707]
Lending Club is another provider that
[710]
I've talked about before here on the
[711]
channel they are a peer-to-peer lending
[714]
company so for those that need a loan
[717]
the way that you make money that you're
[718]
actually giving micro loans to all these
[721]
different people just like a bank you
[723]
are collecting interest and all the
[725]
different loans that you have given out
[727]
and Lending Club is making their money
[729]
on a management fee for handling all the
[732]
loans that they process and trust me
[734]
they are processing a ton now the
[737]
unfortunate thing with Lending Club and
[739]
their Roth IRAs is that it does take
[741]
more to get started if you were to open
[744]
up an investment account with them they
[746]
do have a $1,000 minimum but with their
[749]
IRAs they require more they want you to
[752]
maintain a balance of at least five
[754]
thousand five hundred dollars so fifty
[757]
five hundred dollars and they're gonna
[758]
charge you $40 for that custodial fee
[761]
now there is another option that's a
[762]
little bit more expensive but since
[763]
we're talking about IRAs for beginners I
[766]
won't even talk about that one but once
[768]
again if you want to avoid the stock
[770]
market if you don't want to do real
[771]
estate then a Roth IRA with Lending Club
[774]
is another option you could consider
[776]
okay just in case you're wondering why I
[777]
was wearing a hat in today's video
[779]
because nothing I've ever done this but
[780]
the reason is it because it's a rainy
[782]
dreary day anyway that wraps up the six
[785]
different options for Roth IRAs for
[787]
beginners but I did mention that there
[789]
is one option that you want to avoid at
[792]
all cost and going back to Jonny G's
[795]
comment so Jonny G talked about his
[796]
credit union and how his credit union
[799]
Roth IRA is not making any money and
[801]
that's the option that you want to avoid
[804]
not saying that you want to avoid credit
[806]
unions or local banks or regional banks
[808]
but basically what you want to avoid is
[810]
any investment place that doesn't really
[814]
offer true investments so in Jonny G's
[816]
case he's got a credit union sounds like
[818]
he has a savings account doesn't have
[821]
any other true investments like stocks
[823]
or bonds or ETFs or mutual funds so
[826]
in that case those are the ones that you
[828]
want to avoid because yes you are
[829]
opening a Roth IRA but you have a Roth
[832]
IRA that's not actually paying you any
[834]
money and that's what we don't want
[836]
unless you're like 70 years old and last
[839]
time I checked my youtube analytics I
[841]
don't have any 70 year olds watching my
[842]
channel so I yeah that's the place that
[845]
you want to avoid the one you just don't
[847]
want to open up at a bank or the credit
[848]
union that doesn't offer true
[851]
investments like ETFs individual stocks
[853]
or mutual funds avoid those at all costs
[856]
