Precious metals are an efficient and simple way to diversify a retirement portfolio. Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium can be a balancing asset to even-out portfolio risk, in particular over the long term. Precious metals help protect against inflation, making it a smart choice for retirement investments. Establishing a Self-Directed IRA with Precious Metals is easy, but it’s important to understand the distinctions between a Self-Directed IRA account with Precious Metals than those that hold assets such as stocks, bonds, and notes.
Most retirement funds are held in a Traditional or Roth IRA or a 401(k) and typically include stocks, mutual funds, bond, and annuities. Physical gold and other precious metals may only be purchased through a Self-Directed IRA. With a Self-Directed IRA, the investor is authorized to make his or her own investment decisions from a much more extensive range of products, including Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium. This type of Self-Directed IRA is often called Precious Metals IRA or Gold-Backed IRA.
For a coin or bar to be purchased in a Precious Metals IRA, each product must meet very specific fineness or purity requirements as determined by the IRS. This ensures the investment will leverage the tax benefits an IRA provides.
Like any IRA, to fund a Self-Directed IRA with Precious Metals, you can make the allowable contributions or rollover or transfer funds from an existing retirement account. Currently, First National Bullion accepts transfers or rollovers from the following account types:
- Traditional and Roth IRA’s
- SEP and Simple IRA’s
- 401k’s
- 403b’s
