IRA Services Announces Major Year-End Fee Discount
Investors are increasingly seeking these specialty assets for their higher returns over the traditional bank and brokerage assets.
IRA Services retirement accounts allow investors to invest in a wide variety of assets including the growing number of these direct investment and specialty assets. Many traditional retirement account providers do not permit these types of assets or if they allow them it is with much higher fees.
IRA Services has been handling accounts with these direct purchase and alternative assets for many years and has developed systems and personal that have been able to keep the costs low and pass that advantage on to the investor.Since fees can have a significant impact on an asset's return, the lower the fees, the better the return for the investor.
Many providers charge fees based on the account value, while fees in an IRA Services account are based on assets held, which is a major savings over those accounts which base fees on value.
IRA Services gives these investors a cost-effective way to add specialty assets to their retirement portfolio.
IRA Services works with individual investors through the investor's financial representative and directly with financial product sponsors to provide an account that meets today's current investment needs at a price that maximizes investor returns.IRA Services has been providing self-directed retirement accounts for the direct investment and specialty asset investor for over twenty-five years.

Roth IRA Contributions
The Roth IRA, or the individual retirement arrangement, is an ideal way to save for the retirement years. An individual can open his own IRA and contribute funds to it. What an individual contributes to the Roth IRA is termed as the compensation income. If you are employed, then the compensation income is the paycheck you get in lieu of your services. Compensation income can also be the income you get from being self-employed, or what you get from an alimony settlement.
There is a limit to the amount which a person can contribute.
The Contribution cannot be more than $4,000 per financial year, or 100% of your earned income, whichever is less.

For Entrepreneurs A SIMPLE Plan May Be Best
Q: I own a small decorating business and I'll be the first to admit that I don't know anything about taxes or retirement plans. I'd like to set up a 401(k) or an IRA or some other kind of retirement plan for me and my three employees. What are the various retirement plan options available for a small business owner and in your opinion, which would work best for me?
-- Wanda S.
A: Wanda, I appreciate your confidence in my humble opinion, but asking me for financial advice is like asking Donald Trump for a recommendation on hair care products. I can tell you what works best for me and my business, but you'll need to do your homework and seek professional advice to figure out what would work best for you. As a side note, I hear that Donald Trump is coming out with his own line of hair care product soon to be called "Big Head." The formula is 1% mousse, 1% liquid nails, and 98% hot air.
It should be a big seller among the high brow, comb-over crowd.
