Why Gold IRAs?

Stability

Unlike the US dollar, which has lost 98% of its purchasing power since 1971, gold’s purchasing power remains stable over time.

Diversification

Protect your wealth with an asset that can hedge against the damaging effects of a recession and financial calamity.

3 Steps to a Gold IRA

You can open a Precious Metals IRA by signing an agreement to secure your purchase and understand Goldco’s terms of doing business. A company representative will walk you through every step of the process.

You can fund your Precious Metals IRA by rolling over assets from your existing retirement accounts. For example, 401(k), 403(b), TSP, savings or IRA accounts can all be rolled over or transferred, those rollovers and transfers normally take place without tax consequences.

Once your Precious Metals IRA is funded, you can choose which precious metals you’d like to have as a part of it.

Very Happy with My Decision

I have spent quite a bit of time researching several precious metals dealers. I decided to try Goldco because of their great reviews concerning customer service and I am very happy with my decision. I transferred a portion of my IRA to Goldco, and they made the process easy and quick. I had several questions and concerns, and they were answered with patience and very professionally.

Effortless Process Without Pressure

The team at Goldco was great help assisting my diversification effort to Rollover my 401k from fiat paper investments to precious metals. I was amazed how effortless Goldco made the process from introductory materials through Rollover paperwork, 401k transfer of assets to my new precious metals IRA and storage Trust company account. Goldco’s specialists answered my questions but without pressure. This experience alleviated my concerns and was outstanding!

Goldco Made the Paperwork Easy

I wanted to rollover my traditional IRA to Goldco to have a position in precious metals. Having little experience in metals was an understatement, I decided to call Goldco to inquire about the rollover. Immediately, I was put into good hands and was shown the method to rollover my previous position to metals. Goldco made the paperwork so easy. All the people there I spoke to were very courteous and efficient. They showed me various combinations of gold and silver positions and I settled into one of my choosing. This company is great and I look forward to doing business with them for a long time. Thank you Goldco!

No Pressure Whatsoever

I requested Goldco's "wealth protection guide" back in March. I didn't follow through, thinking it would be a hassle to open a new account. On the contrary, it was a process made easy thanks to the knowledgeable staff. My questions were readily answered, no pressure whatsoever. I rolled over a portion of my 403b, so I can now say that my portfolio is more diversified. I am glad that I chose Goldco after checking out other precious metals IRA companies.

FAQs

No. When performed correctly, a rollover or transfer of assets into a Precious Metals IRA takes place with no taxes or penalties.

Types of retirement accounts eligible for rollover or transfer into a Precious Metals IRA include 401(k), 403(b), 457, Pensions and TSP accounts. You can even roll over funds from a Roth retirement account into a Roth Precious Metals IRA, or perform a Roth conversion when rolling over from a 401(k) or similar account into a Roth Precious Metals IRA.

Unlike mutual funds, the fees for your Precious Metals IRA are often charged as one flat fee per year, rather than as a percentage of your assets. That means that the more precious metals you own, the lower your fees are as a percentage of assets; the less precious metals you own, the higher your fees are as a percentage of assets. Ask your Goldco Specialist about current promotions as Goldco may reimburse you for these annual fees.

While your metals are owned by your IRA, they are securely stored in a depository. Once you are eligible to begin taking distributions at age 59 ½, you can choose to take your distributions either as a cash payment or in the form of precious metals.

Goldco cannot provide tax or legal advice and will not advise as to the tax or legal consequences of purchasing or selling precious metals or opening a Precious Metals IRA.

It is up to you to educate yourself, consider all risks relating to your purchase, and seek financial advice, if needed. Even though Goldco and its representatives are precious metals specialists, we are not licensed financial advisors and do not give financial advice.

All investments carry risk. Some of those risks include the following: Precious metal prices may rise and fall, which means the value of your metals may go up or down over time and you may sell for more or less than you paid. Precious metals do not yield income. This is not an exhaustive list of risks, so feel free to do additional research.

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Predictions regarding the future value of precious metals cannot be made with certainty. Goldco cannot guarantee, assure, or promise future market movement, prices, or profits.

Yes. Goldco is a full-service precious metals firm. We can help you buy gold and other precious metals for secure delivery to your location.

This is the case with any IRA. The IRS requires that a custodian administer and track the assets in an IRA – a Precious Metals IRA is no different.

Our Specialists will help you gather and complete all of the necessary documents for your rollover and can also provide you with an estimate for how long your specific rollover will take.

Due to current demand, metals may take between 1 and 12 weeks to ship. Rest assured that you are guaranteed to receive your metals once your order is finalized.

The most popular assets in a precious metals IRA are gold and silver. In addition, for investors interested in diversifying their portfolio, we also offer platinum and palladium. You can choose from a variety of products, such as coins or bars, in each category. We also offer both common bullion products and premium bullion products. Regardless of which precious metals you choose, the IRS approves for IRA inclusion only metals which are of a mandated fineness. Our Specialists can help you pinpoint the right mix of precious metals to meet your investment goals.

When you open a Precious Metals IRA, all of your precious metals will be stored in a secure vault at an insured depository. The IRS requires physical metals funding a Precious Metals IRA account be maintained by a depository and administered by the custodial financial institution.
