Diversified IRAs Leverage GoldStar's specialization in self-directed IRAs to target financial advisors and RIAs seeking to offer alternative investments such as precious metals. The large base of 37,500 SDIRAs and 2B in assets indicates a ready audience for expanded custody and diversification options. Approach with bundled offerings: custody, trustee, and escrow services for bond issuances and alternative assets in IRA accounts.
Bond Issuance Trust Position GoldStar as a turnkey administrator for bond issuances across 38 states. Prospects include municipalities and corporations issuing private bonds, SPVs, and structured notes who need reliable trustee and escrow services. Provide case studies or testimonials and emphasize compliance, national coverage, and long-tenure track.
Stable Partnership Highlight the backing by Happy State Bank to differentiate from riskier fintech-only custodians. Target risk-averse investors, family offices, and corporate clients seeking stability and insured-like backing. Co-brand with the bank for joint marketing efforts; emphasize financial strength and regulatory alignment.
Onboarding Efficiency Emphasize onboarding and trust signals: modern tech stack (iCIMS, Google fonts, Trustpilot, reCAPTCHA) can reduce friction in onboarding; offer integration-friendly APIs and portal experiences for advisors; use Trustpilot reviews in sales collateral; propose white-label onboarding and compliance features.
Existing Base Growth Explain cross-sell opportunities within existing client base; with 37,500 accounts, identify upsell paths to add more asset types (alternative investments) within IRAs, expand into bond escrow/trust services for corporate clients, and offer premium support packages; propose a data-driven outreach plan to map asset mix and identify gaps.
