Unlike the US dollar, which has lost 98% of its purchasing power since 1971, gold’s purchasing power remains stable over time.
At Goldco, our goal is to make it easy for you to get the benefit of owning physical gold or silver. We believe precious metals ownership is an important part of your overall retirement savings strategy.
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.
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.

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!

This is the second time I have worked with Goldco to transfer a 401K to precious metals. Both times the transfers were easy and smooth. I recommend Goldco to family and friends who are concerned about their investments in the stock market. The Goldco staff are knowledgeable, professional and very helpful.

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!

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.

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.
