Non-Traditional Assets

Beyond common holdings such as stocks, bonds and mutual funds, Trust Company of America’s custodian expertise extends to less-liquid assets including:

• Direct participation programs (DPPs)
• Limited partnerships (LPs)
• Limited liability companies (LLCs)
• Private and preferred stock placements
• Deeds of trust for mortgages
• Promissory notes
• Real property
• Bank stocks

Valuation Services

With a limited market for non-traditional investments, valuation of such assets can prove challenging. Trust Company requests valuation assessments from asset sponsors once a year, leveraging its extensive workings with the less-liquid non-traditional asset market.

Compliance Review

Non-traditional assets may be subject to regulations issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). To help meet relevant compliance standards, Trust Company regularly reviews governing rules and regulations.
