On February 28, 2023, Cadre, a technology-driven real estate investment management leader, announced its launch of an individual retirement account (IRA) solution. Through the solution, the investors are enabled to allocate their IRA funds into CRE (commercial real estate) via the Carde platform. The real estate company anticipates that the new investment option will continue to broaden access to CRE – a typically tax-advantaged asset class with more extended investment periods and attractive risk-adjusted returns relative to stocks.
IRA investors who experienced a challenging year in 2022 would be offered Carde's new solution. According to the Investment Company Institute, between Q1 and Q3 2022, U.S. retirement market assets decreased by more than 18% and lost $7.1 trillion. As per YCharts, S&P 500 Index Returns, and NCREIF Property Index, total returns for all property types IRAs held the majority of retirement assets holding over $11 trillion in assets allocated to equity funds. While S&P 500 index declined by more than 13%, whereas NCREIF Property Index increased by 9.13%.
Cadre's IRA solution follows the 2022 launch of the Cadre Horizon Fund, enabling retirement-focused investors to allocate IRA funds to the Fund via Cadre's online platform. The Cadre Horizon Fund can be held with a number of leading IRA custodians, including Equity Trust Company, The Entrust Group, and Millennium Trust Company. In addition, Cadre's Investor Relations team can help interested investors navigate the allocation process and determine Cadre's compatibility with other preferred IRA custodians.
