The attitudes concerning IRA investments have shifted over the past several years, however, as investors have started looking for ways to build real wealth within their IRAs. It is still a good idea to keep your IRA’s tax-advantaged assets from high-risk ventures, but restricting your IRA’s investment activities to mutual funds is no longer considered to be the best strategy. Avoiding all risk leads to minimal returns.
