This portal, available at **aetrust.com**, allows you to manage your **Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA)** account, view transactions, and submit investment requests. ### **First-Time Login Process** **Login Credentials** – When setting up your account, you will create your own username and password. *(Note: Previously, usernames were randomly assigned, but all Account Holders now choose their own.)* **Email Verification** – Before you can log in, you must verify your email address. AET will send a verification email to the address provided during account setup. Follow the instructions in the email to complete verification. **Log In** – Once your email is verified, you can access your account using your chosen username and password at **aetrust.com**. ### **Resetting Your Password** If you forget your password, you can reset it by: - Clicking the **"Forgot Password?"** link on the login page and following the prompts. - Contacting **AET Support** to request a password reset link. ### **Troubleshooting Login Issues** If you experience difficulties logging in, please ensure: - Your email has been verified. - You are using the correct username and password. - You clear your browser cache or try a different browser. If issues persist, contact AET Support via: 📞 **Phone:** 800-454-2649 📧 **Email:** support@aetrust.com ### **Switching View Between Accounts** If you have more than one account open on the AET platform, you can switch the account you are viewing by clicking the drop-down menu located at the top right of the screen. Click the drop-down menu and choose the account you wish to view from the list.  ### **Important Note on Portal Access After Account Closure** Account Holders should be aware that once the account is closed, **online portal access will no longer be available**. If you need copies of any past account documents, such as: ✅ Account statements ✅ Investment documents ✅ Transaction records Be sure to **download and save these documents before the account is closed**. Once the account is closed, AET will no longer provide portal access to retrieve these records. For any post-closure inquiries regarding past transactions, please contact AET Support directly. - [Investor Portal](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Online Portal](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#online-portal) - [Transfer-ins and Rollovers](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#transfer-ins-and-rollovers) - [General Account Questions](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#general-account-questions) - [Tax Reporting and Compliance](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#tax-reporting-and-compliance) - [Signing Request](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#signing-request) - [Bill Pay](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#bill-pay) - [Prohibited Transactions and Compliance](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#prohibited-transactions-and-compliance) - [Fees and Payments](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#fees-and-payments) - [Investment Questions](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#investment-questions) - [Account Closure and Transfer-out](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#account-closure-and-transfer-out) - [Assets](https://support.aetrust.com/investor-portal?hsLang=en#assets) - [Business Portal](https://support.aetrust.com/business-portal?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting started](https://support.aetrust.com/business-portal?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [FAQ](https://support.aetrust.com/business-portal?hsLang=en#faq) - [Training](https://support.aetrust.com/business-portal?hsLang=en#training) - [Investments](https://support.aetrust.com/business-portal?hsLang=en#investments) [![American Estate & Trust](https://support.aetrust.com/hubfs/Website%20Assets/Logo%20Assets/logo-text.svg "American Estate & Trust")](https://aetrust.com) [mailto:support@aetrust.com](mailto:support@aetrust.com) Copyright © 2025, American Estate & Trust
