A lot of retirement investors have relied on Quest Trust Company (QTC) over the years. Founded over 20 years ago, QTC served as a Self-Directed IRA custodian for many—not only helping administer these accounts but educating the public about how Self-Directed IRAs work in the first place. As QTC transitions its custodial services to Inspira Financial Trust, LLC (Inspira), investors face the need to transfer their accounts.

Given this required transition, it’s an opportune moment to explore other Self-Directed IRA administration firms.

Why not look at American IRA?

Moving accounts over to Inspira means investors must transfer anyway, with the possibility of becoming one of over 80,000 clients. That means some paperwork and a little bit of inconvenience. Transferring to American IRA would be just as simple. Any thoughtful retirement investor has an off-ramp from the QTC highway, and a rare opportunity to look at other Self-Directed IRA administration firms and ask: is now the time to switch?

Why Should American IRA Be Your Self-Directed IRA Administration Firm?

Coming off a long-term relationship with a Self-Directed IRA custodian you trust, you’re in the market for a new one you can trust for a long time to come. American IRA is that to a T. Our team has decades of experience in Self-Directed IRAs, yes. But we also have experience in the asset classes so well-known to retirement investors, like real estate, business, and finance.

Experience is a plus. But there are other specific reasons to invest with American IRA:

• We answer our phones. When you call our office, you will speak to a real person. No phone trees, no outsourced customer service. Just real, hometown hospitality from knowledgeable and courteous staff members.
• A strong rating at the Better Business Bureau. With 42 customer reviews at BBB, we’ve aced our customer exams: our average rating is 4.98 out of 5. There’s simply no faking your way to a reputation like that. BBB’s rating puts us at “A+,” with 19 years of experience under our belt. That’s an emphasis on long-term customer service and support that proves our dedication to each and every investor who opts for American IRA.
• Dedication to education and support. Whether you’re reading our digital downloads, browsing our guides, or checking out anything at our Self-Directed IRA information center, you know we’re about one thing: informing our clients. Our weekly live webinar series (the “IRA Café”) is where expert hosts serve up a rich blend of insights, strategies, and tips to help you navigate the ever-changing landscape of retirement planning. Additionally, with extensive video and audio libraries and a constantly-refreshing blog, we keep our clients abreast of everything in the world of Self-Directed IRAs. We know that your success is our success, and we like to invest in the quality and quantity of information we provide.
• A common-sense fee structure. A lot of Self-Directed IRA administration firms want to make more money as you make more money. On the surface, this sounds like a good way to align your interests. But keep in mind that you don’t have to make more money to have to pay more in fees under this structure. Some companies will charge you more administration fees simply because you have more investments within an IRA. But at American IRA, our fee structure means $0 extra per-asset fees, 0% account value fees, and $0 annual feels until your first transaction. You can even opt for “unlimited fee transactions” with our FlatFee IRA™ Unlimited plan. This keeps your expenses predictable. That means you can reliably build wealth in your portfolio without having to worry about how much of a chunk your Self-Directed IRA administration firm is taking out.

Do you feel a bit left out in the lurch when corporations pull the rug from under you? We get it. Mergers, acquisitions, and changes at companies you trust can upset the balance you’ve worked so hard to strike.

So, while you have the chance to reconsider your Self-Directed IRA administration firm, maybe now’s the time to ask: why not American IRA?
