INVESTMENT OPTIONS WE CUSTODY
Self-directed IRAs can be vehicles for alternative investments in a wide range of accounts and assets that you choose. Owning alternative assets in an IRA is easy to do if the custodian you choose specializes in holding the asset you’re interested in. Because different self-directed IRA custodians will accept different types of investments, the key is to find the right company to help you with the process. GoldStar Trust specializes in these and other asset options. If you have an investment option in mind, contact us to learn more. If you don’t see the investment option you’re interested in, contact us to see how we can help you.
