IRS Disclosure

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
Securities, stocks, mutual funds, and other non-traditional investments (real estate, notes, gold, etc.) are not secured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). However, the FDIC does protect deposits in the event of a bank’s failure: up to $250,000 per bank, per account holder, for each different type of account (Reference FDIC letter to Cama Self Directed IRA, LLC SCC2010W-010781-0). The CamaPlan strategy uses multiple banks that are insured by the FDIC to protect the deposits in your account. The advantage of using this strategy and sub-accounting enables CamaPlan to better protect any undirected cash in your account that is above the $250,000 FDIC limit. 2000-FDIC Rules and Regulations {{2-28-03 p.2351}} PART 330—DEPOSIT INSURANCE COVERAGE and 1000 – FDIC Federal Deposit Insurance Act {{4-28-06 p.1183}} SEC. 11.
