Gold IRA

Augusta® Gold & Silver IRA

If you own a traditional IRA or 401(k), it probably contains mostly equities, such as individual stocks, stock mutual funds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

Investing in equities 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 for the market? For all of their perceived advantages, equities-heavy portfolios are fraught with risk.

Any factor that could lead to a major market drop – such as the one that occurred during 2008’s Great Recession – is something investors should prepare for. The relentless decline in the dollar’s value and recent bouts of violent stock market volatility are just two examples of the many obstacles that can trip up investors on the way to a secure retirement.

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

Introducing the Self-Directed IRA

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

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

Banks, brokerages and financial advisors typically don’t recommend investing in alternative assets such as physical gold and silver. A big reason for that is they cannot earn commissions on the sale of precious metals.

You don’t have to let industry bias stop you from protecting your hard-earned savings, however. Physical gold and silver have a demonstrated record of securing – and even growing – portfolios during distressed markets, due largely to the effective diversification they provide.

The Augusta Gold & Silver IRA represents the ultimate in physical precious metals investment. It allows the discerning investor to combine the power of tax-advantaged growth with the enormous benefits that can come from investing in physical gold and silver.

Advantages of Physical Gold and Silver Investment

• Diversification. Real diversification plays a large role in long-term portfolio success. It’s not enough to own a variety of equities-based investments. Equities’ vulnerabilities are too similar. Physical precious metals are largely uncorrelated with stocks and bonds, so they can provide a level of diversification not possible with traditional assets.

• 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 essentially limits your 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 of investing in physical gold and silver is their 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 investor portfolios but help them gain significantly when traditional assets are collapsing.

• Long-Term Growth Potential. Physical precious metals’ protective qualities sometimes overshadow another tremendous advantage: competitive investment returns over the long term. Physical gold can serve as both a capital appreciation asset and a wealth-protection asset. This makes it a unique investment option.

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

In addition to soaring during short-term periods of acute economic distress, gold and silver both have outperformed the S&P 500 throughout this century.
