@bittersweet123 I have spent months learning about SDIRA and how to do the GV using my retirement funds (keeping it in IRA). There is one fund I found that so far seems to allow the most straight-forward and least costly path- that is Optimize Portugal. Through a Self Directed IRA you can invest in a wide variety of things. However to do so under GV you need to have a US LLC for your SDIRA, and then you need to have the same thing on the Portugal side. The expenses for these do add up, plus for me this is a lot of steps where it could be easy to make a mistake and cause yourself a Distribution. I found the Optimize Portugal investment to be the best fit. It is still a little concerning to have all your money in on place, but when you learn about the fund you feel a little better. Due to their status, they act as the bank in Portugal. If you go to their website they have a pretty good explanation of the process. Also, I recommend you speak with them directly. They were excellent at explaining everything and very familiar with how things work on the US side in terms of keeping your money in your IRS. So, you can have your SDIRA invest directly to Optimize- no LLC , no Portugal LLC required. Investing here works just like investing in a mutual fund on the US market, very straightforward. Optimize is on the Portuguese stock market, and you can follow it on Bloomberg and MorningStar. There is no time requirement, you can get your money out at any time, unlike most all the other GV fund options. Full disclosure, my investment process is not yet complete, but everything should be done within the next two weeks. If you want to check back then I can let you know if everything went as smoothly as I anticipate! It took me a long time and lots of research on the US side to this point, we almost gave up on the GV because I did not want the ongoing expense and hassle of the LLC situation, nor having my money locked up! I am happy to help anyone skip some of the goose chase in figuring out how to do this!
