CamaPlan is a regional administrator dedicated to serving clients in the Northeastern US.

CamaPlan provides innovative investment opportunities for savvy investors seeking direct control and more choices in how they deploy their investment capital.

As CamaPlan has grown, its commitment to excellent service has remained constant. The heart of CamaPlan is its highly-trained staff. They are known for being responsive to the needs of individual investors, especially those interested in investing in alternative assets such as precious metals, real estate, mortgage notes, hedge funds, and structured settlements.

CamaPlan doesn’t just make it possible to invest in alternative assets; it also teaches investors how to put their money to work, safely and wisely. Educating its investor-clients on the opportunities and benefits of self-directed investing and sharing new strategies is central to CamaPlan’s mission. In everything it does, CamaPlan seeks to empower its clients to maximize the advantages of self-directed investing by showing them new possibilities and helping its investors realize them.

* Use the CamaPlan Fee Calculator (click button below) to calculate your estimated fees based on the company's published fee schedule. This is a useful tool when comparing different custodians based on your cost to use them. Please note, if you have never before used a self-directed IRA custodian or administrator to administer your account, the fees will be different than most broker dealers that provide transactional services for stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.

The Self Direct Your Retirement Transparency Index is a metric we have developed to indicate how transparent self-directed IRA custodians and administrators are about their company. We value transparency as an ideal trait from a company that is providing custody or administration of your retirement accounts. It shows that the company has nothing to hide about their activities. You should consider this when you are making your choice.

The Self Direct Your Retirement Transparency Index is split into two parts. The first part is whether they voluntarily provided this information to us or whether we had to find this data on our own. Companies that provided us with the data were given the "company certified seal". If they did not participate, the seal does not show up in their profile. The second part of the index is how transparent the companies were in providing us with this information. A higher transparency number indicates a more transparent company. A number above 80% is ideal. There may be legitimate reasons companies do not want to share certain information, but you should consider this when making your decision.

Below the seal, we have listed the last time the company provided us with information. As long as the company has the certified seal, the information should be considered up-to-date. We contact the company periodically to ensure the information is accurate. If the company chooses not to verify the information, then we remove the seal. Transparency is only one factor you should consider when choosing a self directed IRA custodian or administrator.

We asked CamaPlan to provide their individual insight into the following questions. This section is a bit more personal. The idea is that it will give you more insight into the company you are considering to provide custody of your investments. 

Company's view of important of the following items (ranked in order of importance)

1. Transparency - Providing clients with transparent information
2. Legitimacy - Prevention of fraudulent investments and schemes
3. Visibility - Creating greater visibility about self-directed IRAs to investors
4. Coordination - Coordinating with other custodians, administrators, and professionals

We are not able to make a reasonable assessment of this administrator due to their low level of transparency. It is hard to truly know what you are getting from an administrator who is administering your investments if they are unwilling to disclose even basic information about themselves to potential clients. While the company might be suitable for your investing needs, you should exercise caution unless they are willing to disclose all the information you need to make a reasonable decision.

Transparency is important. If you find that a company is not willing to be fully transparent about the information you need to make this important decision as a potential customer of their services, you might want to reconsider them as a potential choice for your retirement funds. Ultimately, your personal retirement investing needs will determine whether CamaPlan is a good fit for you. Transparency is only one metric which you should consider in your due diligence process. Please use our Self Directed IRA Custodian & Administrator Comparison Tool to help you make that determination.

One of the biggest areas of frustration we see from self-directed IRA investors is when they realize they have chosen the wrong self-directed IRA custodian or administrator. It takes time to set up an account and fund your investment. The last thing you want to do when you are trying to fund your investment is to think about changing to a different custodian. Choose your Self-Directed IRA custodian or administrator wisely. If you put the time in now to find the right company, you will save time, money, and aggravation later.
