In today's economic climate, diversifying your retirement savings is a prudent strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)What exactly is a Gold IRA?
A Gold IRA is a type of self-directed Individual Retirement Account that allows you to invest in physical gold and other IRS-approved precious metals, such as certain forms of silver, platinum, and palladium, as part of your retirement savings strategy. It functions similarly to a traditional IRA but holds physical assets instead of stocks, bonds, or mutual funds.
Why do I need a Gold IRA Custodian?
The IRS has specific, complex rules governing precious metal IRAs. A Gold IRA Custodian is a specialized financial institution licensed and qualified to handle these unique requirements. They facilitate the setup, funding (including rollovers), purchase of compliant metals, secure storage, and ongoing administration of your Gold IRA, ensuring IRS regulations are followed. Without a custodian, attempting these tasks yourself carries significant risks of penalties or account disqualification.
What types of precious metals can I invest in with a Gold IRA?
Generally, IRS-approved metals for a Gold IRA include:
Gold Bullion: Must be in the form of bars weighing at least 1 ounce, with purity of .995 or higher (often referred to as 99.5% fine gold). Silver Bullion: Bars weighing at least 1 ounce, with purity of .999 or higher (99.9% fine silver). Platinum Bullion: Bars weighing at least 1 ounce, with purity of .9995 or higher. Palladium Bullion: Bars weighing at least 1 ounce, with purity of .9995 or higher.Leads, blanks, rounds, or numismatic coins (unless they meet specific IRS criteria like American Eagle coins) are typically ineligible.
How does a Gold IRA rollover work?
A Gold IRA rollover involves transferring funds from an existing retirement account (like a 401(k) or traditional IRA) into your new Gold IRA. This is typically done via a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer to avoid tax withholding. We handle the paperwork and process, ensuring the transfer is completed correctly and efficiently according to IRS guidelines.
Can I add gold to my existing IRA?
Yes, you can add gold to your existing IRA by initiating a Gold IRA. This usually involves a direct rollover from your current retirement funds into the new Gold IRA structure managed by a qualified custodian like ours. You cannot simply purchase physical gold and add it directly to a standard, non-self-directed IRA.
