Self Directed Custodians: There are very few self-directed IRA/401k custodians in the United States. In order to be a custodian for self-directed product, the custodian is known as a "passive custodian". This simply means that they are obligated by law to only provide the custodial and administrative services for the qualified plan. They can provide NO investment advice. This tremendously reduces the fees associated to traditional investments because you, the investor, make all of the investment decisions. Here are the links to the most notable of the self directed custodians:
