Self-directed retirement account

A retirement Account in which an investor designates an Account custodian but still makes his/her Own decisions about what stocks, bonds, and mutual funds to Buy. These accounts are usually set up at a Brokerage, and the investor is often charged an amount above Trading costs for operating a self-directed IRA.
