conversion in 2012 and the other half in 2013 (2011 and
2012 tax returns)

13. Is it Worth it to Convert?

The purpose of this course is to educate individuals into the opportunities that exist with SELF-DIRECTED retirement plans. The key to TRUE self-directing is choosing investments that the individual knows best.
The audience for this course will most likely be individuals who invest in these types of investments or trusted advisors such as CPA’s, Realtors, CFP’s who can provide clients for your office.
The goals of this session are:
Educate about the opportunities with PLANS and PLAN INVESTING
Educate about the ways to invest in these investments
Educate about the process to take advantage of these investments
(here is where we sell ourselves and establish our credibility)
Why should you Listen to Entrust?
We have been at it for over 26 years – and are the most often quoted authority on self-directed IRAs (WSJ, etc...)
Clients have invested over $3B in assets selected by them and administered by us
We provide training to Lawyers, CPAs, Financial Planners and other professionals
We hold hundreds of workshops every year
But best of all..... we are local – right here in Florida, where you can call us, stop by, pick up and drop off paperwork. All our transactions are issued from Florida, by people you will get to know and appreciate – not from a national call center...
Our strength lies not only in what we do – but ironically, what we don’t do.
We don’t provide investment advice
We don’t sell anything
We don’t get commissions from anyone
We are the “Switzerland” of investments – completely neutral.
All if this allows you to make your own choices, limited only by your imagination and IRS guidelines.
Investment Choices-
This is where we can show the audience what investments can be held in their Entrust Account. Reiterate that they are not limited to just securities. They can invest part or all of there retirement funds into these assets.
SALES POINT: They have a world of choices with an Entrust Plan
Still more ideas to get the attendees thinking about the opportunities with a Entrust Account.
We briefly touched on what assets are allowed. What does the IRS actually prohibit?
Cover what is not allowed by the IRS
Prohibited transactions. In a sales presentation its not always effective to dwell on the “DON’Ts”. Yet we will need to touch on prohibited transactions. You can always meet with the client one on one to get into more detail.
Make sure they know the basic rules about what is not allowed:
Self Dealing
No personal Use
No personal benefit
We now know about Self dealing and personal use, but let them know about disqualified persons. Self dealing relates to you, your family and your business (over 50%)
Well, we can now explain what it take to actually have a SD account of your own – to keep you on the road to retirement wealth...
First, open your booklet and turn to page four. At the top of that page, write todays date and Got Savings LM (or any other identifier you choose to track the application).
At the top of Page 5, check the box on how you plan on funding your account. The first choice would be for someone just getting started. The other three are for funds that are moving from a current or prior administrator.On
Your beneficiaries are the individuals that will receive the proceeds from your IRA when you die – you can name as may primary and contingent beneficiaries as you like. However, if your spouse is not named as 100% primary beneficiary, you must obtain her signature on page six.
Have we covered how much this costs?
Nothing... until you make a purchase. Because you attended this seminar, we will waive the $50 application fee that most of our client pay.
Once you make an investment – whether it is property, issuing a note, buying private stock – you will be charged $95 for the purchase, and as little as $125 per year for our administration, recordkeeping and reporting to the IRS. As your account balance grows, you have the flexibility of choose the best fee option for you as your needs change.
The rest of the forms are for funding your account – and I/we will be glad to assist you in understanding the requirements of your current administrator to get those funds moved.
I would also ask that each of you fill out the brief questionnaire that is in your packet before you leave today. It will give you a subscription to our IRA Insights newsletter, and help us serve you better in the future. Just hand it to me or any Entrust associate as you depart.
The Next Step-
Let the audience know how they can learn more about self directed accounts. Let them know about your upcoming events. Let them know where they should go if they are looking for investment ideas.
We appreciate your interest in Entrust and Self-Direction and hope that we were able to answer many of your questions.
We have only touched on the subject briefly today, and look forward to seeing you again at future workshops and serving you as a client.
