How to invest in Heron through a 401k, IRA or other tax advantaged account

Updated this week

Yes! Heron Finance has partnered with AltoIRA to enable simple and easy investing with Heron through tax advantaged accounts like 401ks or Roth IRAs. Just follow these instructions

Step 1 : Create a Heron Finance Account (if you have not already done so)

Step 2 Fund your Heron Finance Account through our partner, AltoIRA

  • Use our unique Heron Finance link https://app.altoira.com/invest/qffu

  • If you don't have an Alto account, click "Sign Up" at the top right of the screen

  • Go through the onboarding steps (this will take about 15 mins, here are some great tutorials if you need help along the way)

  • Select Alto IRA when prompted for account type

  • Fund your Alto account, either with cash or an existing IRA / 401(k)

That's it! Once the funds have arrived in your new Alto IRA, we will get a notification and update your Heron Finance account to reflect the funding.

Notes

  • After verifying your identity, you may need to refresh the page to move forward.

  • If transferring funds from an existing IRA or 401(k), you'll need to provide Alto with that account's information, including a statement.

  • Alto charges a fee to manage your new IRA account. You can view Alto's pricing here.

  • As mandated by the IRS, you are restricted from investing through your new IRA account for the first 7 days. However, you can fund the account immediately
