Invest in Silver for Retirement

Silver has been used for generations in coins, jewelry and art. Its electrical conductivity, heat resistance, malleability and luster also make it essential to a wide range of industries, which gives it a demand base beyond investors.

We can help you set up a silver IRA or roll your current retirement plan into one. It follows the same four steps as a Gold IRA:

Open and fund your self-directed IRA.
We give you a list of approved self-directed custodians that allow silver and other precious metals in their accounts. We work only with custodians holding an “A” rating from the Better Business Bureau. Your current provider sends the funds straight to the new custodian.
Choose your metals.
Once your funds arrive, we give you whatever you need to decide: current pricing, inventory, and delivery times. When you place your order, we ship the metals to your depository account within 28 days.
Your metals are stored in your name.
Your metals are held at an approved depository. We work with two of the largest and most secure in the country, Brink’s Global Services and Delaware Depository, with coverage of up to $1 billion against property and casualty losses.
We stay with you.
Our relationship doesn’t end at setup. Your specialist is there to answer questions, provide market updates, and help as your needs change.

Good to know: as with any retirement account, set-up and annual custodian and storage fees apply. We walk you through every fee before you commit.

Invest in Platinum & Palladium for Retirement

Platinum and palladium are rarer than gold and silver. Both are heavily used in industrial processes and in jewelry. The steps to hold them in an IRA are the same as above. IRA-eligible platinum and palladium must be at least .9995 fine.
