Gold IRA Accounts

At San Diego Bullion Exchange, we can assist you in establishing a Self-Directed IRA that includes real Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium.

Incorporating precious metals into your retirement portfolio is an effective way to diversify. Over time, these metals can serve as stabilizing assets that help mitigate portfolio risk. Investing in precious metals is a smart choice for safeguarding against inflation. Setting up a Self-Directed IRA for precious metals is straightforward, but it’s essential to understand how it differs from traditional IRAs that hold stocks, bonds, and other securities.

Typically, retirement accounts such as Traditional or Roth IRAs and 401(k)s contain assets like stocks, mutual funds, and bonds. Only a Self-Directed IRA permits the purchase of tangible precious metals. This type of IRA enables investors to select from a broader range of investment options, including Gold, Silver, Platinum, and Palladium. You might hear this referred to as a Precious Metals IRA or a Gold-Backed IRA.

To qualify for a precious metals IRA, each asset must meet strict fineness or purity standards set by the IRS, ensuring you can take advantage of the tax benefits associated with an IRA.

As with any IRA, you can fund a Self-Directed IRA with Precious Metals through allowable contributions or by rolling over funds from an existing retirement account. San Diego Bullion accepts transfers or rollovers from various account types, including:

  • 401(k)
  • 403(b)
  • Deferred Compensation Plans
  • Traditional and Roth IRAs
  • Simple and SEP IRAs
  • TSPs (Thrift Savings Plans)

We also welcome annual contributions and new accounts starting at a minimum of $ 5000.

Getting started is easy and involves three simple steps:

  1. You can either incorporate precious metals into your current IRA or let us assist you in setting up a new one.
  2. Place orders for the precious metals you wish to acquire through San Diego Bullion Exchange. Our team at San Diego Bullion Exchange will work with you to determine the best options for your investment.
