PENSCO as an industry pioneer

More than two decades ago, the founders of PENSCO were among the first to see that millions of Americans saving for retirement in tax-deferred IRAs and other retirement accounts, were limited to investing in stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. They saw that these investors could be investing in alternatives like real estate, new businesses, or private lending opportunities. By moving money from exchange-traded securities, investors could achieve a measure of diversification and potentially better returns.

As long as these assets were held for them by a custodian following the IRS guidelines for tax deferred accounts, the IRS tax deferrals remained, and the investment could grow tax deferred. That was the motivation for founding PENSCO Trust Company.

PENSCO's role as an alternative custodian

As an alternative investment custodian, PENSCO assumes responsibility for the administrative processes and documentation required to buy, hold, and sell alternative assets while meeting the requirements for a tax-deferred retirement account.

PENSCO Trust Company is a registered and regulated non-depository trust company in the State of New Hampshire. After more than two decades of experience helping thousands of investors to make their own decisions investing for retirement, PENSCO has an excellent reputation as a premium provider of advanced custodial services for self-directed investors and their advisors.
