AV investors receive discounted annual fees when investing through a STRATA self-directed IRA. See the IRA Fee Schedule for further information.

How It Works:

	Step 1: Open  Verify your status as an Accredited Investor with AV. Please email [email protected] to begin – AV’s Investor Relations team is standing by to assist. Establish a new self-directed IRA account with STRATA via the online account setup. This takes about 10 minutes, and STRATA has a dedicated Client Service team standing by.
	Step 2: Fund Complete a transfer form that allows STRATA to initiate the transfer of funds from your existing IRA to your new STRATA account, and electronically sign your AV investment subscription documents. Visit the IRA Transfer Request section on our Forms page and select the correct form out of the options listed. AV Investor Relations provides your investment subscription documents for electronic signature. Once the forms have been submitted, STRATA establishes your self-directed IRA account, funded with the transfer from your existing IRA provider.
	Step 3: Direct  Once STRATA receives your online application we will reach out with a pre-populated Investment Direction form for you to review and sign electronically. STRATA will fund your AV investment once your Investment Direction form is returned to STRATA and as soon as your transferred funds settle.
