What is a self-directed IRA?
It's a retirement account that lets you invest in more than just stocks and mutual funds. Things like real estate, private loans, and gold.
Asset Trust is the custodian. That means we hold your investments in your IRA's name, keep your records, and file the right forms with the IRS. We don't give advice, and we don't choose investments. You pick the investments. We hold them securely and handle the rest.
