What is any* asset?

Real estate, foreign currency (in cash), gold bars, cryptocurrencies (self custody), physical bottles of fine wine, rare pokemon cards, etc. A self-directed IRA means I can invest in pretty much anything I want.

I can’t invest in physical bottles of fine wine with my IRA brokerage account at Vanguard, Fidelity, etc.

Opening the self-directed IRA with an LLC means you can invest in anything.
