Glassdoor Ratings: (How company rates as an employer) (no profile)

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

Nevada Trust Company has a moderate level of transparency. There should be a decent amount of information on which to make a determination, but it is still not adequate from our perspective. In order to make the best decision possible you should request additional information from the company.

Looking at a company's transparency is only the first step in the process of finding a suitable self-directed IRA custodian or administrator. With this information, you can make a determination about whether Nevada Trust Company is the best choice for your retirement investing needs. If you are missing information, it makes your task more difficult.
