What economic conditions are conducive to setting up a Gold IRA?

Gold has often been called the “crisis commodity” because it tends to outperform other investments during periods of political or economic turmoil. The very same factors that cause other investments to suffer will traditionally cause the price of gold to rise. The price of gold has increased the most when confidence in the government is at its lowest. Investors continue to demand gold as national debts rise, banks fail, and currencies around the world continue to lose value and governments bail themselves out by printing money. Having a portion of your assets allocated into a gold IRA is very important, and highly recommended.

How do I Set Up a Gold IRA?

Gather the following items:

• Copy of your account statement with your current custodian
• Copy of your ID (driver’s license, passport, or other id)
• Copy of ID for your beneficiary (if you have more than one, we need identification for each person… if you don’t have a beneficiary, disregard)

Can I Put Gold In My Retirement Account?
Yes you can, however most custodians do not allow customers to place physical precious metals in retirement accounts because they are static assets that cannot be traded for commissions. Don’t be surprised, but your current custodian probably doesn’t want you to know that you can put physical precious metals in your retirement account by simply setting up a Self Directed Gold IRA, and that’s what we are here to help you with.

Why Should I transfer my assets into a Gold IRA?
It is now more important than ever to diversify your investment portfolio away from dollar denominated assets. The current global economy is very fragile and governments are faced with no coice but to devalue their currencies in an effort to stimulate economic growth. With no credible plans for reducing massive debt burdens and even more dire prospects for growth, Gold and Silver are some of the only remaining assets that can not only provide safety but attractive returns as well.

Why Should I allocate my assets to a Gold IRA instead of mutual funds, stocks, or ETF’s?
By setting up a Gold in IRA, you have the option to allocate as much capital into stocks, bonds, or mutual funds. Bottom line, gold has steadily outperformed the S&P 500 giving investors 15% annualized returns for the past ten years. Prudent portfolio theory suggests that 12%-25% of your total assets should be in PHYSICAL precious metals. A Gold IRA is the ONLY way you can go about owning PHYSICAL gold coins in your retirement account.

What Kind of Returns Can I Expect if I set up a Gold IRA?
Gold IRA Specialists doesn’t speculate on the price of gold, and advises every client to conduct their own due diligence before investing in silver, platinum, or gold coins. But, if you would have invested $25,000 in gold coins 30 years ago, your current net worth would be over $500,000.

If I set up a Gold IRA, do I have to invest only in precious metals?
No, your Gold IRA is self-directed, which gives you the power to choose investments that are suitable to your retirement strategy. These include, but are certainly not limited to, gold, silver, platinum, stocks, bonds, real-estate, mutual funds, and exchange traded funds. A Gold IRA is merely a vehicle that allows you to allocate your investments seamlessly.
