Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) can be funded with physical gold and silver, yet very few investors are aware of this fact. They are exempt from all capital gains taxes, so if your investments perform well over a long period of time, it can result in huge savings.\u00a0
\nDiversifying your retirement portfolio with precious metals is fundamentally required if you properly understand asset allocation (see the Ibbotson study<\/a>).\u00a0 Additionally precious metals normally rise during periods of unsettling events such as wars, terrorism, inflation, deflation, downturns in the stock market and the US dollar. Precious metals usually yield large profits in these circumstances.
\nWhat is unique about this plan is that you can take physical possession of the actual gold or silver when you make your withdrawals<\/span>.\u00a0 That\u2019s correct!\u00a0 You can cash out in real honest-to-goodness gold and silver instead of fiat dollars. \u00a0This is the most important feature of all.\u00a0 Down the road, in this generational bull market in gold and silver, the odds are in your favor that you will want and need the physicals when it\u2019s time to access your investment.
\nOnce you decide that you want to include precious metals in your retirement planning, you need to determine how much you want to invest. How much depends on your annual contribution, your personal goals and your individual investment philosophy. Factors to consider are your age, total assets and risk tolerance.\u00a0
\nVery few institutions are set up to handle the precious metals component of retirement plans. But they do exist.
\nEstablishing an IRA with a Trust Company<\/em><\/strong>
\nSetting up a self-directed IRA with a Trust Company involves three steps.
\n1. Submit the paperwork.
\n2. Fund the account.
\n3. Direct your broker which precious metals to buy.
\nThe metals are stored at an approved precious metals depository, which is used by COMEX and other major commodities exchanges. Annual storage fees are charged on an annual basis.\u00a0
\nSteps #1 and #2 involves completing the proper forms to transfer the funds to one of the three trust companies that are authorized to perform this function.\u00a0 Normally, the funds are transferred directly from an existing IRA or Qualified Retirement Plan.
\nIn Step #3, the IRA investor directs a dealer which precious metals to buy.\u00a0
