Using a Self-Directed IRA for Checkbook Control

Be your own record-keeper. Checkbook Control allows for instant access of your retirement funds.

Some IRA investors prefer to establish a stand-alone LLC (checkbook control) with the ownership to be funded by the IRA. Drafted by a tax professional, the operating agreement provides the named manager the ability to open a bank account and make investments that are titled in the name of the LLC. It is the responsibility of the IRA accountholder to determine the legality of the structure and to ensure that investments are not contrary to the IRS and Department of Labor guidelines.

Using a Self-Directed IRA to Invest in Precious Metals

Whether the purchase of precious metals is for defensive reasons, or simply for appreciation, holding the asset inside an IRA will protect the gains against taxation. If the metals are held within a Roth IRA, the gains could be tax free. Additionally, some investors claim precious metals could protect other IRA holdings from value swings based on currency values or other deterioration of economic conditions. Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium are also easy to value and are very liquid, providing quick assessment and distribution when needed.

As a self-directed IRA administrator, NuView Trust will send the funds to the dealer along with a packing slip for the depository. The metals will be shipped directly to the depository and you will be notified via email upon their arrival.
