Public Trading in Your Self Directed IRA

Diversify Your IRA Portfolio with Stocks, Bonds or Mutual Funds

As an Equity Trust Company client, you can combine the investment freedom of an Equity Trust self directed IRA (Real Estate, Mortgage/Deed of Trust, Private Placement, Tax Liens and more) with the benefits of a full-service online brokerage account. We make it easy for you to truly self direct your IRA by consolidating your traditional and non-traditional investments at one company.

Investment Diversity Made Easy

Who wants the hassle of transferring IRA assets between different accounts at different IRA custodians? Life is much simpler and more convenient for Equity Trust clients. If you want to diversify your IRA portfolio with stocks, bonds or mutual funds, combined with your investments in real estate or other alternative investments, we offer it all under one roof.

Get the asset diversification you want for your investments without opening a separate brokerage trading account with another firm!
