What We Do

For almost 40 years, The Entrust Group has provided account administration services for self-directed retirement and tax-advantaged plans. Entrust can assist you in purchasing alternative investments with your retirement funds, and administer the buying and selling of assets that are typically unavailable through banks and brokerage firms.

Self-Directed IRAs

Entrust makes it easy for you to understand Self-Directed IRA Rules

Holding alternative investments, such as real estate, in a self-directed IRA can help you build retirement funds. However, because these accounts allow for more investment freedom, they are also associated with increased liability. In order to be successful when working within self-directed IRA regulations, due diligence is necessary for investors to limit the risk associated with their retirement investments.

The Entrust Group strives to help investors understand the broad spectrum of alternative investment options, including industry strategies, as well as the benefits of self-directed investing. Additionally, we make it our priority to educate clients about the rules they must follow to protect their savings.
