Gold IRA

Protect Your Retirement with Precious Metals Trusted by Thousands of Americans

A Gold IRA allows you to hold tangible, IRS-approved precious metals—like gold in your retirement account. It’s a powerful way to diversify your portfolio beyond traditional paper assets and gain the security of owning something real and enduring.

By including physical gold, you can protect your savings from inflation, currency devaluation, and market volatility. These metals have maintained their value for centuries and continue to serve as a trusted store of wealth in uncertain economic times.

A Gold IRA gives you greater control over your retirement future—helping you build long-term financial stability and peace of mind.

WHAT IS A GOLD IRA?

A Gold IRA is a specific type of self-directed Individual Retirement Account (IRA) that allows you to include physical precious metals as part of your retirement savings. Unlike standard IRAs, your holdings are not limited to stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Instead, your account is backed by tangible assets—actual gold, silver, platinum, or palladium coins and bars—that are stored securely in an IRS-approved depository. For a complete breakdown, see our Gold IRA 101 guide.

This structure provides a powerful method to preserve your wealth with assets that have historically maintained their value. If you already have a 401(k), you can learn how to transfer it into a Gold IRA through our step-by-step guide.

WHY CHOOSE A GOLD IRA?

Hedge Against Inflation & Economic Uncertainty
When the purchasing power of paper currency declines, the value of gold has historically risen. Including physical gold in your retirement strategy can act as a crucial counterbalance to inflation and systemic financial risk.
Portfolio Diversification
A retirement plan concentrated only in the stock market carries significant volatility. Physical gold provides essential diversification because its performance often does not correlate with traditional paper assets, helping to stabilize your overall portfolio.
Tangible Asset Ownership
Your Gold IRA is backed by real, physical metal that you own. This offers a level of security and peace of mind that paper certificates or digital assets cannot match.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can find more answers in our complete Gold IRA FAQ.

What metals can I hold in a Gold IRA?
You can hold IRS-approved gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins and bars that meet specific purity standards. Your specialist will detail all eligible options.
How are my metals stored?
For a Gold IRA, the IRS requires that all metals be stored in a licensed, third-party depository. We work with leading, high-security facilities to ensure the safety of your assets. You will have a detailed record of your holdings.
Can I take physical possession of my gold?
While the metals in your IRA are legally owned by you, taking physical possession before retirement age would be considered a distribution and could result in taxes and penalties. The structure is designed for long-term, secure storage until you take a qualified distribution.
What is the minimum to get started with a Gold IRA?
We strive to make this strategy accessible. Our minimum requirement is tailored to ensure it is a viable option for many seeking to strengthen their retirement savings. Please contact a specialist for specific details based on your individual situation.
How long does the entire process take?
From initial consultation to your metals being securely stored, the entire process typically takes between 7 to 10 business days. The timeline can vary depending on the speed of funding from your previous custodian.
Are there any fees involved?
Like all retirement accounts, there are associated fees, which can include setup, storage, and custodial administration fees. We believe in full transparency and will provide you with a clear, upfront breakdown of all costs before you proceed.
Can I roll over an existing 401(k) or IRA?
Yes, absolutely. One of the most common ways to fund a new Gold IRA is through a rollover from a qualified retirement plan like a 401(k), 403(b), TSP, or another IRA. This process is often tax-free and penalty-free when handled correctly. Our specialists are experts in facilitating seamless rollovers.
What makes certain metals "IRA-eligible"?
The IRS has specific requirements for the purity (fineness) and type of precious metals that can be held in a Gold IRA. For example, gold must generally be .995 pure. We exclusively offer IRS-approved coins and bars, such as American Eagles and specific bars from approved refiners, to ensure full compliance.
