Overall Rating: 4.1 / 5 (Excellent)

Rocket Dollar is an innovative online brokerage with a fee schedule unlike most of its competitors. You'll have to pay a high upfront cost, but then you'll only have to deal with a flat monthly fee afterward. There's no need to worry about asset or transaction fees, which makes your costs a lot more predictable. You also have a plethora of investment options to choose from, but choosing the right ones is on you. It's definitely worth a closer look if you're interested in taking more control of how your retirement savings are invested, but those who lack confidence in their ability to do this should consider working with a brokerage where you can get professional assistance from financial advisors.

Rocket Dollar Account Features

Account Features - 4.3 / 5

Rocket Dollar enables you to open a self-directed IRA, either traditional or Roth, in just a few minutes online. While the company doesn't go into detail about all of your investment options, you will have a variety of investments to choose from, including stocks, bonds, mutual funds, certificates of deposit (CDs) and more. You'll have to choose them yourself, though, because Rocket Dollar doesn't currently offer advisor assistance. But if you feel confident in your ability to manage your own investments, this won't be a problem.

Rocket Dollar Fees and Penalties

Fees and Discounts - 4.3 / 5

Rocket Dollar employs a unique fee schedule. The $360 registration cost is a bit steep, but after that, you only pay a $15 monthly service fee. Whether or not that's worth it depends on how much you have in your account and how that money is growing, but it's a good fit for those who change up their portfolios often and don't want to be hampered by transaction fees.
Management Fee
$15 per month
Trading Fees
There are no asset or transaction fees.
Miscellaneous Fees
$360 one-time registration fee
