Due to Covid-19 related USPS mail delays of our client statements, late fees for non-payment of Annual Maintenance Fees will not be assessed until Apr. 30th (extended from Mar. 16th) – Learn More
Delivery of our client statements and payments have been impacted due to COVID-19 related USPS mail delays.
In response, Equity Trust has pushed out the date for assessments of late fees for non-payment of Annual Maintenance Fees from March 16th to April 30th. (Due date for the 2020 AMF invoice was Wednesday, March 3, 2021.)
An Equity Trust account can invest in gold and silver American Eagle coins and other types of gold, silver, and platinum coins and bullion, subject to applicable IRS rules and regulations. An IRA can hold gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion which meet certain minimum fineness requirements.
When investing in precious metals using your self-directed account, you will work with a dealer or platform to select retirement account-eligible metals. You may find your own precious metals provider or choose from a list of dealers and platforms in our Investment District online marketplace.
After the purchase, your metals will be held in an approved depository.
“Our salespeople are relieved when they find out a client has chosen Equity Trust for their custodian, because they know the transaction will be speedy, simple, and headache-free.”
