  1. EverBank® does not act as the custodian for all IRA accounts. Based on the product you choose, you may be required to establish a custodial account with a predetermined and unaffiliated 3rd party in order to maintain your IRA account(s) at EverBank. This 3rd party may impose a fee for their service.
  2. When rolling an existing EverBank IRA into a different EverBank IRA, customers may need to complete additional paperwork.
  3. EverBank pledges to keep the yield on your account in the top 5% of competitive accounts as tracked in the Bankrate.com National IndexTM of leading banks and thrifts. For the Yield Pledge CD this pledge applies at the time of purchase, or when rolling your expiring CD into a new CD with EverBank.
  4. Because this is a money market account, you are limited by Federal regulation to six transfers or withdrawals per month. See Terms and Conditions for details. Withdrawals or transfers in excess of these limits are subject to a fee. IRA withdrawals may be subject to taxes and penalties. Please consult with your tax advisor for more information.
  5. Your EverBank deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC for up to $250,000 until December 31, 2013. FDIC insurance covers against loss due to the failure of the institution, but not market related fluctuations, including changes in currency prices. Due to the nature and volatility of the foreign exchange market the values of currencies are subject to wide fluctuations against the U.S. dollar and investments in foreign currency denominated instruments will entail significant risk exposure to adverse movements of the foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. As with all investments, investors can lose money, including principal due to currency fluctuations, over the term that you own it. Please only invest with money that you can afford to risk, and as part of a broadly diversified investment strategy.

EverBank Metals Select products are not deposits of EverBank, are not insured by the FDIC or any other government agency and the value of the holdings are not guaranteed, and are subject to significant risk, including the possible loss of principal due to market price movement.
