What's the board's recommendation on a company to open up a self directed non prototype solo401k with?

I am looking to mainly do an after tax mega back door ROTH with index funds. Will possibly do some crypto investing and maybe rentals in the future with the account.

here, this is who i use for my QRP/solo 401k trust. get documents drawn up and they will provide a EIN, and take to a bank and open a checking account. That way you have checkbook control to invest in what you want when you want.

adam bergman is the owner. great guy

I used Fidelity when I had a solo k.

It was fairly straightforward.

Nobody wants your checkbook 401k Fat Bastard.

Dude just wants some index funds.

Look at Vanguard to see if they have what you're looking for.

This is who I use for the same thing: Solo401k

They have a little form you fill out in January to determine how much you converted and then they email and mail you the 1099-R for the conversion.

I use Schwab, but I don't think they care who you use as the custodian of the assets so if you're with Fidelity, Vanguard, etc. you'd just open a QRP account.

Vanguard, Fidelity, and Schwab are the answers to this. Pick one you like. All are low cost.

that does not sound like just index funds to me. if he opens a brokerage sponsored solo401k he will be limited.

you cannot be this dumb.

Vanguard is dumping their SOLO 401k. It is moving over to Ascensus.

also if you want a roth sub account built in mine has that as well. you can have a checking account for the 401k and one for the roth. or you can control monies of each on a ledger all in one checking account. these brokerages(if you set up account with them) will not let you invest in anything other than what they offer for a reason. depends what you want.

open a checkbook control solo401k and you can then invest in a brokerage account with some of your money with SCHWAB, etc. then use other portions if you want to buy RE, etc. This way you are not all tied up with a BROKERAGE offered solo401k.

As far as I know, Schwab doesn't offer an after-tax bucket.

There is no need to pay $1,000 in set up costs and $400 per year for something he may do in the future. He can always revisit that if/when the time comes that he’d like to make those investments.
