Gold IRA

Silver & Gold IRA

Owning an IRA or 401(k) is a popular way to prepare for retirement, but if you are like most Americans, even if you’ve saved a substantial amount, you still worry. Who knows what the future holds?

Any threat that jeopardizes portfolio security is something retirement savers should prepare for. The relentless decline in the dollar’s value and global economic weakness are just two examples of the many obstacles that can trip up individuals traveling the path to a secure retirement.

Fortunately, there is a way you can not only manage but greatly reduce risks to your portfolio: by purchasing physical gold and silver from Augusta in an IRA.

Introducing the Self-Directed IRA

For many years, IRS regulations did not allow the purchase of physical precious metals in an IRA. The 1997 Taxpayer Relief Act changed that.

Now, through what is known as a self-directed IRA, retirement savers can maximize the advantages of physical gold and silver by acquiring the metals in a tax-advantaged account.

Physical gold and silver have a demonstrated record of securing – and even growing – portfolios during periods of economic distress, due largely to the effective diversification the metals provide.

Buying silver and gold for your IRA from Augusta can be a particularly favorable way to own physical precious metals. It allows the discerning retirement saver to combine the power of tax-advantaged growth with the enormous benefits that can come from owning physical gold and silver.

ADVANTAGES OF OWNING PHYSICAL GOLD AND SILVER

• Diversification. Real diversification plays a large role in long-term portfolio success. Physical precious metals are largely uncorrelated with popular, “mainstream” assets, so they can provide a level of diversification generally not possible from within traditional financial markets.

• Protection Against Wealth-Killing Inflation. Dollar-denominated assets remain at the mercy of the U.S.’s fiat currency system, federal bureaucrats and central bankers. Their monetary policies create inflation, which can suppress your real wealth. But physical gold and silver’s intrinsic value can’t be debased by monetary policy, which is a defensive quality that could protect your savings against inflation.

• Protection Against Economic Turmoil. The most popular advantage to owning physical gold and silver is the metals’ propensity to defend portfolios against economic upheaval. Through some of our nation’s most troubling economic periods, physical gold and silver have time and again demonstrated their potential to not only stabilize portfolios but help them gain significantly when traditional assets are collapsing.

• Existence Outside of Mainstream Financial Institutions. Retirement savers often forget to consider this important advantage of precious metals: physical savings security. In the digital age, banks and other financial institutions can’t offer the level of security they once did for mainstream assets, including cash. Physical gold and silver are real, tangible assets stored entirely out of reach of the banking system.
