Frequently Asked QuestionsWhy do I need a Gold IRA Custodian?
A Gold IRA Custodian is required by IRS regulations to administer a self-directed IRA that holds physical precious metals. They ensure the account remains compliant, handle the necessary paperwork for funding, purchasing eligible metals, arranging secure storage, and managing distributions according to the rules governing retirement accounts. Without a custodian, you risk violating IRS regulations, incurring penalties, and jeopardizing the tax-deferred or tax-free status of your retirement funds.
What exactly does a Gold IRA Custodian do?
A Gold IRA Custodian manages the administrative aspects of your precious metals IRA. This includes opening the account, facilitating rollovers or transfers from other retirement plans, processing wire transfers, selecting IRS-approved metals, arranging for the purchase of those metals from reputable dealers, ensuring they are stored in an approved depository, and handling distributions according to IRS rules. They act as the fiduciary responsible for the account's operation.
Are there fees associated with using a Gold IRA Custodian?
Yes, Gold IRA Custodians typically charge fees for their services. These fees can vary based on the custodian, the type of account, the volume of transactions, and the specific services provided. Common fee structures include monthly maintenance fees, transaction fees (for purchases, sales, and transfers), and potential setup fees. It's crucial to understand all associated costs clearly before establishing an account. We provide transparent fee disclosures.
What types of precious metals can I invest in with a Gold IRA?
Gold IRA regulations specify which IRS-approved precious metals can be held. Typically, this includes:
Gold Bullion Bars or Coins: Must meet .995 purity or higher.
Silver Bullion Bars or Coins: Must meet .999 purity or higher.
Platinum Bullion Bars or Coins: Must meet .9995 purity or higher.
Palladium Bullion Bars or Coins: Must meet .999 purity or higher.
Physical stocks, bonds, or collectible coins (like rare gold coins) generally do not qualify. We provide guidance on selecting compliant metals.
How is my physical gold stored in a Gold IRA?
Your physical precious metals must be stored in an IRS-approved depository, not with you personally or a family member. We partner with secure, insured depositories that specialize in storing retirement assets like gold and other precious metals. Once you purchase the metals, they are shipped directly from the dealer to the depository, and we arrange for their safekeeping and record-keeping. You have the option to choose between direct storage with the depository or utilizing a segregated storage service, though direct depository storage is the most common and compliant method.
