Your 401(k) and IRA are tied to the stock market, the banking system and the value of the dollar. A Gold IRA lets you keep your retirement tax advantages while moving part of your savings into physical gold and silver: real assets that no government can print and no bank failure can erase.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a Gold IRA?

    A Gold IRA is a self-directed IRA that holds physical, IRS-eligible gold, silver, platinum or palladium instead of stocks and bonds, with the same tax advantages as a traditional or Roth IRA.

    Can I roll over my 401(k) into gold?

    In most cases, yes, especially from a former employer plan. A direct rollover moves the money without taxes or penalties.

    Where is my gold stored?

    At an approved, insured depository, held for your IRA. IRS rules do not allow IRA metals to be stored at home.

    How much does it cost to get started?

    Costs typically include custodian setup and annual fees, storage fees and the dealer spread on metals. Call (833) 589-8100 for a full, written breakdown.

    Bishop Gold Group is a precious metals dealer. We are not a tax advisor, attorney, or investment advisor, and nothing on this page is tax, legal, or investment advice. Precious metals prices rise and fall, past performance does not guarantee future results, and any investment involves risk, including loss of principal. IRA accounts are held by independent, IRS-regulated custodians, and metals are stored at independent depositories. Talk with your tax professional before making retirement account decisions.
