Total Invested Capital
You Pay (billed quarterly)

Alto IRA Account Fees

Alto IRA accounts are charged a quarterly Account Fee* based on Total Invested Capital.

  • $0.00 $0.00
  • $0.01 – $29,999.99 $37.50
  • $30,000.00+ $100

Issuers, including Alto affiliates when acting as an issuer,  may charge a separate fee. It is the responsibility of the investor to understand any additional issuer- and offering-specific fees applicable to an investment made through an Alto IRA.

*Charged quarterly on the first day of each calendar quarter and in advance of each payment period. Account Fees are non-refundable. Account Fees are determined based on the sum of Total Invested Capital held by a client’s Alto IRA on the fifth day prior to the end of each calendar quarter. When a client completes their first investment with an Alto IRA on the Alto Platform, an Account Fee will be charged for the remainder of the quarter and within forty eight hours upon the completion of the investment. Total Invested Capital is determined by the sum of the purchase price of each asset held in an Alto IRA account plus any subsequent investment amounts into the same asset, minus applicable capital returns and principal distributions. Cash held at Alto is not included in Total Invested Capital. For the purposes of determining Total Invested Capital, Checkbook/LLCs are valued at the sum of cash transferred to a Checkbook/LLC. Securities transferred to an Alto IRA in-kind are valued at $1.00 per investment. Investment amounts include any cash transferred to an issuer or investment platform. Total Invested Capital is the cumulative total of a client’s Alto IRA accounts. A single charge will be applied to your payment method for each quarterly Account Fee. Upon the expiration of a subscription plan the initial quarterly Account Fee will be effective and prorated for the remainder of the quarter.

The Alto IRA and Alto CryptoIRA® are separate account types, and their fees are applied separately from each other. For Alto investors who hold both account types, cryptocurrency holdings will not contribute to an Alto IRA Account Fee, and the trading fee for an Alto CryptoIRA® will apply only to cryptocurrency trades.
