For nearly four decades, Equity Institutional has specialized in self-directed IRAs and has earned its widely acknowledged position as industry leader. When the government created the self-directed gold IRA in 1997, opening the door for precious metal investment in IRAs, it was only natural that Equity Institutional quickly rose to dominance as custodians of the new product.

The function of the custodian of a self-directed IRA is unlike that of the administrator of a conventional IRA. A custodian’s duty is only to take physical possession of assets, store them in a secure depository, and facilitate movements into and out of accounts. The holder of the account has full control over such movements, as well as the composition of the portfolio.

Equity Institutional places no restrictions on the assets it will hold, making their gold IRAs ideal for every investment strategy. You are free to hedge your precious metals with assets as diverse as private placements, real estate, and even deeds of trust.

Although custodians are forbidden by law to offer investment or legal advice, Equity Institutional has set itself apart from the others by connecting their clients to their vast network of resources, so these clients are able to successfully manage their own accounts.

With their vast experience, Equity Institutional is unparalleled in helping new clients set up their accounts and teaching them about the possibilities and pitfalls of self-directed IRAs. They earned their position in the market by making their clients feel comfortable in their new role as administrators of their own accounts and giving them the tools they need to succeed.

When it comes to being custodian of self-directed IRAs, only one thing is certain: no two customers are alike. That Equity Institutional has successfully served such a diverse client base for such a long time is a testament to their dedication to each and every one of us.
