IRA Investors Turn to Precious Metals
With recent changes in tax law, you now have the opportunity to place a wider range of certain approved precious metal coins and bullion in your IRA. Prior to 1998, IRA's were limited to holding American Eagle gold and silver coins. Today, an IRA can hold gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion which meet certain minimum fitness requirements.
Protect your IRA with Precious Metals
Making physical precious metals part of your IRA is a great way to diversify and protect your retirement portfolio. Precious metals are recession-proof investments that are historically proven hedges against negative economic conditions like inflation, war, housing bubbles and taxation. Not only have gold and other precious metals been considered one of the few ways to protect assets from high inflation and economic uncertainty, but precious metals are considered liquid assets, meaning they can readily be converted to cash.
