GoldStar Trust Company redefines excellence in the financial services industry, empowering individual investors and financial professionals to diversify retirement portfolios through self-directed IRAs.

While traditional IRAs provide tax benefits, they often restrict investments to stocks and bonds, limiting opportunities for personalized strategies that align with individual financial goals. Partnering with a custodian that specializes in holding diverse asset classes, clients can gain the freedom to choose investments that resonate with their goals. In addition, clients face the challenge of navigating complex IRS rules and compliance requirements as part of their retirement planning.

GoldStar Trust addresses these needs with a comprehensive range of asset-class investment options, including precious metals, real estate, church bonds, publicly traded securities, hedge funds, and more. GoldStar Trust further enhances the experience with tailored solutions and expert support, helping clients confidently manage compliance challenges and unlock the full potential of their retirement portfolios.

Investing in precious metals requires specialized steps and knowledge, which is not as straightforward as other investments. GoldStar Trust simplifies the process with its extensive experience and proven expertise, making it easier for clients to include precious metals in their retirement portfolios.

Crowdfunding allows investors to use a self-directed IRA to invest in private companies in exchange for shares, offering potential returns if the business succeeds. GoldStar supports this investment avenue by holding both equity and debt-structured crowdfunding investments within self-directed IRAs.

Facilitating church bond investments, it provides clients to gain attractive returns while supporting church building projects. Bonds are available through broker-dealers, with options for tax-deferred IRAs or GoldStar Asset and Money Management Account.

A GoldStar Self-Directed Real Estate IRA offers flexibility for individuals looking to invest in real estate. While the account owner directs how their IRA funds are invested in real estate, GoldStar acts as the custodian, managing all administrative tasks and ensuring compliance with reporting requirements.

Enabling privately offered investments, such as closely held stocks and LLCs, within self-directed IRAs, it offers tax-deferred or tax-free benefits. Goldstar specializes in managing these unique investments with expert support.

Trailblazing custodial services for self-directed IRAs, GoldStar Trust continues to lead the industry. As a division of Happy State Bank since 1908, it embodies timeless values of integrity, hard work, and customer-centric service. Backed by a $3 billion regional bank with an A+ BBB rating and a 5-star Bauer Financial ranking, it delivers reliability and financial strength.

Apart from its self-directed IRA offerings, GoldStar Trust simplifies the retirement planning process by offering a wide range of IRAs, including Traditional, Roth, SEP and SIMPLE IRAs. These options are designed to meet diverse financial and tax needs, which streamlines the process of opening new accounts besides maintaining existing ones.

To meet the wide-ranging needs of financial advisors and organizations GoldStar Trust offers a comprehensive suite of services beyond IRAs. It includes Auto Rollover IRAs that help organizations locate and service missing 401(k) participants, ensuring orphaned accounts are efficiently managed. In addition, it also provides secure and efficient escrow and paying agent services, allowing advisors and institutions to rely on a trusted partner who let them focus on their core objectives.
