Important Reminders

How you invest your self directed IRA funds is extremely important.  We ask that you keep these important points in mind as you explore and learn about the investment options available in an IRA with Self Directed IRA Services, Inc.  

Purchasing Non-Traditional or Alternative Investments in a Self Directed IRA

Purchasing non-traditional or alternative investments through an IRA requires special processes and documentation which are outlined on our Investment Checklists for the different types of alternative investments.  In addition, it's important to adhere to the federal regulations which relate to prohibited investments and prohibited transactions in IRAs.  As an experienced IRA custodian, we can provide you with the resources you need to help you successfully purchase, maintain or sell your investments. 

It Takes Knowledge to Invest Comfortably

As with any major decision, you want to be comfortable making decisions that will impact your future.  Because investment decisions are involved, you have the option to appoint your financial advisor as your account representative if desired.  When you invest your self directed IRA funds into investments you understand, you can make the best decision possible for your retirement portfolio.  

Our Role as an IRA Custodian

Self Directed IRA Services, Inc.'s role is limited to serving as an IRA custodian.  As custodian, we follow the directions given by the account holder in processing transactions, ensure that title to the investments is properly reflected in the name of the IRA, issue periodic statements of account activity, and fulfill the IRS reporting requirements.  Since all IRA accounts are self directed by the account holder, we do not provide investment, tax or legal advice and account holders are encouraged to seek professional advice in these areas.
