In December 2019, Midland and its affiliates became employee-owned via the Midland ESOP Trust. Our employees have an entrepreneurial spirit which sets the company apart. The ESOP allows them to have a say in their company and share in the profit. As a result, employee-owners are adding to their retirement and building and diversifying their financial portfolios.What is self-direction?A self-directed IRA is not a type of IRA, but a little-known way to invest through your IRA. Self-direction allows the investor to expand their portfolio from the typical stocks and bonds available with most IRA companies. The IRS allows you to choose your own investments, such as real estate, futures, foreign currency (forex), notes (loans/mortgages), LLCs, precious metals, energy, or even movie deals! The possibilities of self-direction are endless.
