What Clients are Saying About Equity Trust

Holly

I’m so glad we moved our money to a self-directed IRA. We have more control over where and what our money is invested in.

Keith

[Equity Trust] has been fantastic to deal with. While no two investments are the same, I have not had any issues in finalizing the paperwork in a timely fashion. The online bill pay is easy to use and expenses related to my investments are always paid quickly.

Chris W.
