Co-Investment Programs

Co-investment programs allow your employees to participate in potentially high profit investments — while giving them access to an asset class that may have been unavailable otherwise. These benefits can be amplified by allowing employees to invest with qualified dollars through a self-directed traditional or Roth IRA.

A self-directed IRA provides individuals the opportunity to co-invest through a tax-sheltered account, increasing the growth potential of the co-investment — while providing diversification for their retirement portfolios. To use this option, a specialized custodian like Pacific Premier Trust is required to custody and report on these accounts.

As a leading alternative asset custodian, Pacific Premier Trust is uniquely qualified to assist firms seeking to set up an employee co-invest program. Pacific Premier Trust has three decades of experience holding private equity and other alternative assets within retirement accounts. We currently have over $15 billion¹ in assets under custody — nearly $1 billion of which is in employee co-investment accounts.
