Arbitrage Queen Self-Directed IRA Trust
Put Your Retirement Capital to Work Beyond Traditional Investments.
Your retirement account may represent years—or decades—of accumulated capital. But a traditional IRA or 401(k) may limit where that capital can be invested.
The Arbitrage Queen Self-Directed IRA Trust gives qualified investors a pathway to explore eligible alternative investments—including certain assets designed to produce recurring cash flow—within an appropriate retirement-account structure.
Because the goal is not simply to accumulate capital. The goal is to understand how capital can be positioned to produce.
From Retirement Savings to Wealth-Building Capital.
Generals Equipped teaches members to think beyond earning and accumulating money. The larger objective is to build and acquire assets capable of producing income, creating ownership, and contributing to long-term wealth.
For some members and clients, retirement capital can become part of that strategy. A Self-Directed IRA may allow eligible retirement funds to be directed toward certain alternative assets that are not commonly available through conventional retirement plans.

What Is a Self-Directed IRA?
A Self-Directed IRA is a retirement-account structure that may allow the account owner to direct eligible retirement capital into a broader range of investments than many traditional retirement accounts permit.
Depending on the account, custodian requirements, and applicable retirement rules, eligible investments may include certain real estate investments, mortgage notes, private lending, private companies, precious metals, and other alternative assets.
Investment eligibility varies. All transactions remain subject to applicable IRS rules, prohibited-transaction restrictions, and custodian requirements.
The Self-Directed IRA
The retirement account that holds eligible investments.
The alternative investment
The investment held within that structure.
Recurring cash flow
An income-producing asset may be a source of cash flow. The IRA itself is not the investment.
Generals Equipped provides the broader educational and implementation framework for helping members understand how income, capital, assets, ownership, and structures can work together.
Your IRA Does Not Have to Be Limited to Wall Street.
Many investors have retirement capital sitting inside accounts that provide access to only a limited menu of investments. For investors who understand and want exposure to alternative assets, a Self-Directed IRA may provide another way to put retirement capital to work.
Traditional Retirement Account
- Stocks
- Bonds
- Mutual Funds
- ETFs
Self-Directed IRA

- Mortgage Notes
- Private Lending
- Certain Private Companies
- Precious Metals
- Other Permitted Alternative Assets
Available investments depend on the account structure, custodian, and applicable retirement-account rules.
Alternative Investments With an Income-Producing Focus.
Dr. Patience Dean's work as an Alternative Investment Educator focuses heavily on helping members and clients understand assets and strategies that may provide income beyond traditional employment.
Rather than exploring alternative investments simply because they are “alternative,” the Generals Equipped approach gives particular attention to assets that may have the potential to produce recurring income or cash flow.
The objective is to understand how capital can be positioned into assets and structures that support a broader passive-income and long-term wealth strategy.
Why We Teach About Mortgage Notes.
Mortgage notes are one of the alternative asset classes we frequently educate members and clients about because a performing mortgage note may generate recurring borrower payments to the note owner.
For qualified investors who understand the risks, mortgage notes may fit into a broader strategy focused on acquiring assets capable of producing recurring cash flow.
When an eligible mortgage-note investment is held through an appropriate Self-Directed IRA structure, the investment and resulting payments may be administered through the retirement account in accordance with applicable rules and custodian requirements.
Borrower payments, investment income, principal repayment, and investment performance are not guaranteed. Mortgage-note investments involve risks including borrower default, collateral risk, servicing risk, liquidity risk, valuation risk, and potential loss of principal.

The Structure Holds the Wealth.
The Assets Produce.
The Tree of Wealth Blueprint teaches that building wealth involves more than choosing investments. It requires understanding the relationship between capital, assets, structures, income, ownership, and long-term wealth.

Not every investment produces income or appreciates, and all investing involves risk.
Is a Self-Directed IRA Worth Exploring for You?
A Self-Directed IRA may be worth exploring if you:
- Already have retirement capital in an IRA or former employer plan
- Want to explore eligible alternative investments
- Are interested in mortgage notes, real estate, private lending, or other private-market assets
- Want to diversify beyond traditional public markets
- Are interested in assets with the potential to produce recurring cash flow
- Want to understand how retirement capital may fit into a broader long-term wealth strategy
A Self-Directed IRA is not appropriate for every investor. Alternative investments can involve additional risks, illiquidity, specialized valuation issues, fees, and complex retirement-account rules.
