Tax forms filed with the IRS and annual statements back to 2014 can be accessed via our Online Portal.  Starting in May of 2017 with the Form 5498, forms were uploaded annually as soon as they were mailed.  If you need a copy of an annual statement or tax form filed with the IRS prior to 2014, please contact our VIP Services Team.

We assess a fee to custody and administer the account for the account holder. We do not receive a fee on your investment or your investment’s performance. Administration duties include the accounting for your investment, required IRS and state filings, facilitation of your investment, distribution requests, access to our Online Portal, and compliance. We charge a flat-rate annual fee to maintain your account, rather than a fee that increases based on the number of assets or the value of the assets held in your account.

Your Custodial and Document Fee are due at the time of account establishment and then annually thereafter on the anniversary of the establishment of your account. Transactional fees are due at the time of the transaction.
