Disclosures

Recordkeeping fees

Recordkeeping fees are not pro-rated or refundable upon account closing and are normally withdrawn from your undirected funds unless you submit payment before the due date by check, credit, or debit card. Fees paid from your account will appear on your statement. If no fee option is selected, fees are based on Option Two — Account Value.

Late fees

When recordkeeping fees are not paid within thirty (30) days, a late fee is assessed: $25 each unpaid quarter under Option One, or $75 each unpaid year under Option Two.

Re-registration of asset fees

On the Option One fee structure, an asset re-registration fee applies each time an asset is transferred into or out of your account (for example: real estate, promissory notes, convertible notes, private stock, private placements, and LLCs).

Fair market valuation

Mountain West IRA requires a Fair Market Valuation Form with supporting documents every twelve (12) months for each non-cash asset. If forms are not received, MWIRA may determine the value using available information and may charge $100 per asset. If a valuation is not provided every twelve months, MWIRA reserves the right to resign as Administrator.

Minimum cash balance

Accounts without a credit card on file must maintain a minimum $500 cash balance to cover administrative fees. This balance may be held inside your account or pre-paid by check or credit card outside of it; pre-payments outside the account are not co-mingled with account funds.

Failure to pay & account termination

Fees unpaid within thirty (30) days may be collected from your account regardless of elected payment method. With thirty (30) days’ written notice and insufficient cash, MWIRA may liquidate assets to cover outstanding fees. Closing your account requires a $150 termination fee plus all outstanding fees and applicable re-registration or service fees. Mountain West IRA may adjust this schedule with thirty (30) days’ notice.
