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.

Check out Your Investment Professional

Unlicensed, unregistered persons commit much of the investment fraud in the United States.

Always check the background of any financial professional to make sure the person is licensed. Type a financial professional’s name in the box and you will be re-directed to the Investor Adviser Public Disclosure (IAPD) website.
