Personal Financial Advice that’s Critical: Take Charge of Your Own Funds, Learn How to Analyze Investments, says Glen Mather

Personal Financial Advice that’s Critical: Take Charge of Your Own Funds, Learn How to Analyze Investments, says Glen Mather, head of Entrust Administrative Services

ORLANDO, Fla. - Whether you’re 35 or 60, three things are certain in today’s economic climate: things aren’t the way they once were, you can’t trust anyone to manage your savings, and you must learn how to think for yourself.

Those are strong words, and they come from someone who should know: Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administrative Services, LLC, which administers more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts valued at more than $200 million.

“The handwriting’s on the wall and it’s a topic on just about every evening news program,” said Mather, whose company won’t offer investment advice, even when asked. “From financial meltdowns to financial scandals to economic downturns, it’s clear that people who want to save for their future, and especially for their retirement, must take charge of their own destiny,” Mather said.

That’s not easy in a world where Wall Street speculators and high-powered fund managers have upended markets, invented bubbles and shaken some of the bluest blue-chip corporations like rag dolls, Mather sympathized.

Mather doesn’t mean to point fingers. “That’s a job for the courts and the regulatory agencies,” Mather said. “Our goal is to educate, motivate and facilitate individuals who are making their own best decisions,” he said.

“Over the past few years we have seen an incredible amount of capital erosion,” Mather explained. “What we used to think of as safe bets have proved no more predictable than a Vegas roulette wheel. Real estate has shed 40 percent of its value, impacting good neighborhoods and benchmark commercial properties as much as the rest. Blue chip corporations, the bastions of the American economy, are filing for bankruptcy protection and standing in line for government bailouts. Some of the most trusted names in financial services are victims to greed and manipulation, threatening the financial security of our nation,” Mather said.

The only antidote is for each of us to mend our ways.

“It is imperative that we take control of our own financial future,” Mather warned. “If we simply hand our savings over to financial managers, don’t get involved, and wait for the returns to roll in, we may end up broke and hungry and---like 50 percent of people over the age of 65 today---working part or full-time through our retirement,” he said.

The antidote is education---lots of it.

“We have to learn the fundamentals of the financial markets. We have to learn how to analyze the news, read between the lines, and understand the difference between market indicators and marketing propaganda,” he said.

Entrust Administrative Services Launches Web-Based Seminars, Classes to Educate Retirement Investors

LAKE MARY, Fla. - Entrust Administrative Services, which provides administrative services for more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts that total more than $200 million, has launched a new web-based program of live streaming videos and webinars at http://www.entrustfl.com/ to educate retirement investors.

Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administrative Services, said the webinars and live streaming classes are provided free to interested investors.

“Our webinars and live streaming classes are designed to educate adults of all ages about the opportunities available to them to invest their own retirement funds,” Mather said.

What began as a service directed at retirement-aged adults has expanded to include younger adults, Mather explained.

“We serve many people in their 30s and 40s who are accumulating tax-free retirement accounts and who prefer to invest those funds rather than trust them to fund managers,” Mather said.

“We’re seeing a major shift in the way people save for retirement, and knowledgeable, well-educated investors can generate higher returns within their retirement accounts if they pay attention to all the investment vehicles available to them,” Mather explained.

Mather said self-directed retirement accounts in the U.S. represent a major new source of capital for private investment that could have profound effects on U.S. economic growth.
“Self-directed retirement accounts offer the most promising new trend in U.S. capital investment,” Mather said.

Entrust Administrative Services to Launch Sunday Morning Radio Program to Advise Small Investors on “Capital Ideas”

LAKE MARY, Fla. - Entrust Administrative Services, which administers more than 2,000 self-directed retirement accounts with a net worth of more than $200 million from offices in Lake Mary, Jacksonville and Boca Raton, is sponsoring the launch of “Capital Ideas,” a one-hour radio program on WORL-660 AM to advise small investors on new investment opportunities.

Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administrative Services, said he plans to host special guests and investment experts to talk about alternative investment opportunities.

The program will kick off May 24 at 9 a.m.

“Most investors are familiar with stocks and bonds and we’ll touch on those topics, but we plan to focus on the sorts of alternative investment opportunities that can be overlooked by many investors,” Mather said.

Mather said Capital Ideas will capture the real power of American capital in today’s economy.
“With all the attention on bailouts and macro economics, we’ve overlooked the most important element in our financial system, the millions of small investors who have worked hard all their lives and now hold the power to save the U.S. economy,” Mather said.

“Capital Ideas will celebrate their new power in this economy and analyze ways they are rebuilding the American economic system from the grassroots right up to the power centers,” he said.

Builders, Developers Can Solicit Financial Support from Owners of Self-Directed IRAs

Builders, Developers Can Solicit Financial Support from Owners of Self-Directed IRAs

LAKE MARY, Fla. - Builders and developers who are finding it difficult to secure financing from traditional lenders can solicit owners of self-directed retirement accounts, says a leading funds administrator.

Glen Mather, president of Entrust Administrative Services, which administers more than 2,000 retirement accounts that total more than $200 million from offices in Lake Mary, Boca Raton and Jacksonville, told the Latin Builders Association in Miami recently that they should go directly to the source to seek alternative funding for worthy projects.

“It’s not just homes, it’s commercial too,” Mather told the more than 70 builders in the audience. “Builders and developers can gain access to finance through individual IRAs if they take the time to learn the correct approach,” he said.

Mather said IRAs can lend to companies, limited partnerships and individual ventures and serve as a stockholder.

Mather said one representative in the group was raising funds to finance individuals who wanted to buy mortgages.

“They are pooling resources to provide financing for distressed properties at a very low price so that individuals can acquire and remodel properties for resale or rental,” Mather said. “The IRAs would then become the lien holders---in effect, the bank---to make these transactions happen.
