Futures Trading in a Sterling Trust IRA

Sterling Trust permits its accounts to trade futures and commodities in a futures account that is traded by: 

• A registered commodity trading adviser (CTA)
• A trader that is not a registered CTA
• An account holder that wants to trade his or her own futures or commodities

Please refer to Sterling Trust's Futures Trading Direction of Investment Form for complete information.

In addition to not requiring a cash hold-back, a self-directed IRA with Sterling Trust offers these advantages:

• A competitive IRA annual fee – including a $75 first-year annual fee!
• No minimum balance to open the IRA account
• A choice of IRA types – Traditional, Roth, SEP or SIMPLE
• The flexibility to hold other public or private investments within the same account
• Online access to view your client's IRA
• Easy-to-read quarterly account statements
