You may have recently received communication from SmartStop of a planned liquidity event. This information, while helpful, may prompt further questions for you about your IRA holding. The cash proceeds from the liquidation of SmartStop will be added to your Morrill & Janes Bank and Trust NOW account. After the funds have been added to the Morrill & Janes Bank and Trust NOW account, you have several options available to you.
As always, we encourage you to seek the guidance of your professional financial representative and/or tax advisor when making these important investment decisions.
Please return to our Listings page for answers to additional questions you may have.
