A mobile application provided by iTrustCapital designed for use on devices running the Android operating system facilitates access to the company’s investment platform. This platform enables users to invest in alternative assets, such as cryptocurrencies and precious metals, through self-directed individual retirement accounts (IRAs). The software provides a user interface for account management, trade execution, and monitoring investment performance directly from an Android device.
The significance of such a mobile application lies in its accessibility and convenience. Investors can manage their alternative asset holdings and execute trades at any time and from anywhere with an internet connection. This increased flexibility can be particularly beneficial for individuals seeking to diversify their retirement portfolios beyond traditional stocks and bonds. Historically, access to these alternative asset classes was often limited to wealthier individuals or required specialized brokers. The availability of a mobile application democratizes access to this type of investing, enabling a broader range of individuals to potentially benefit from the diversification and potential returns offered by alternative assets within a retirement account.
