What Is an SDBA?

More Control Over How Your Retirement Assets Are Invested

A Self-Directed Brokerage Account, often called an SDBA, may allow eligible retirement plan participants to access a broader range of investment options beyond the standard menu available in their employer-sponsored plan.

This added flexibility can be valuable, but it also introduces additional responsibility. Choosing investments, managing risk, and keeping your strategy aligned with your long-term retirement goals all become especially important.

Greater Investment Flexibility

Access investment options that may go beyond the core selections in your retirement plan.

Personalized Strategy

Build an approach based on your goals, time horizon, risk tolerance, and retirement income needs.

Ongoing Guidance

Work with a financial professional to help monitor your account and make thoughtful adjustments over time.
