For 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.
The IRS requires self-directed accounts to be administered by a custodian to ensure that the recordkeeping is done in accordance with IRS guidelines. The fees at Entrust allow us to do the recordkeeping and account administration for your self-directed account. At Entrust, you will receive best-in-class service from a highly knowledgeable team with over 40 years of experience.
We want you to spend your time investing not calculating fees. That’s why we have created a fee schedule that is simple and transparent.
We know our clients value the flexibility to grow and diversify their portfolios, so we have designed our fees to adapt to every type of investor. Whether you invest $20,000 or $2,000,000 in a self-directed account, our fees are scaled to match the complexity of administering your account and make sure you have quality service and access to SDIRAs at a reasonable price.
Pay fees based on the value of your assets, and don’t get penalized for the number of assets you hold. We also have a fee cap for large accounts so you can keep more of your investment earnings with the Entrust fee structure.

*The uninvested cash in your account is not charged a 0.15% fee, regardless of the amount of cash held in there. The 0.15% fee is assessed solely on the total asset value above $50,000. For example, an account with two assets of a total value of $150,000 and $12,000 cash would pay a fee of $299 + 0.15% of $100,000 ($150), or a total of $449 annually.
There is a cap on recordkeeping fees at $2,299 per year, so no matter how much your account grows, you know you will never pay more.
