Access to alternative assets
In additional to traditional assets like stocks, bonds, ETFs, and mutual funds, Ocho allows you to invest your retirement savings into any asset class, including alternative assets like real estate, crypto, NFTs, and private equity.
Integrated bank and brokerage platforms
Most solo 401k plan providers, including Nabers Group, only provide you with the solo 401k plan documents and perform maintenance duties for an annual fee. After you receive the plan documents, it’s up to you to find a third party bank and brokerage that will accept them. Ocho has integrated bank and brokerage accounts directly built in, allowing you to make contributions, and make investments without ever leaving the Ocho app.
