"That expertise is displayed every day through our commitment to client education about self-directed IRAs and the guidance we provide about alternative assets within these plans."

Among the requirements to earn the SDIP designation, candidates must have a minimum of two years of dedicated IRA operational and technical expertise, attended the three-day RITA IRA Institute program, and passed the RITA IRA Fundamentals Test.
