As an IRS approved custodian, we fulfill the custodial and administrative duties required for each type of investment account you hold. With an Equity Trust account you have the opportunity to invest in alternative assets such as real estate, precious metals, private equity, and more. Additionally, you can invest in traditional assets such as stocks and mutual funds – all through a single custodian. As a directed custodian, Equity Trust does not provide tax, legal or investment advice, nor do we offer or sponsor any proprietary investment products.
