Precious Metals Role in Your Retirement

Physical precious metals are not a suitable investment for everyone.

 

Precious metals are a risky and volatile asset class that does not generate any current income, such as interest or dividends.

 

Gold and silver should not be foundational investments for retirement savings.

 

They might be a complement to a solid foundation of plentiful income, cash reserves, fixed accounts, bonds and stocks, et al. 

 

Physical gold and silver would also not be appropriate if your retirement income does not meet your basic needs.

​

​

 

But, if you do have secure and sufficient lifetime income in retirement & assets that are likely to grow over time, the potential benefits of this unique asset class are attractive and possibly timely. 

 

There are some benefits from owning physical gold and silver that are difficult or impossible to replicate with other options. These benefits include being tangible, confidential, and seen as insurance against dollar-based assets.

​

National Gold Consultants works with advisors like us to offer physical gold and silver to our clients. They are experienced in helping us add gold and silver to complement other investments that you own.

 

Purchases are made by check or ACH, or by transferring existing IRA dollars. There are special laws that restrict the actual possession of gold and silver for an IRA- it must be held by a custodian or trustee.

The following five short videos are eleven minutes total. They won't answer all your questions, but they allowed us to see that when your income needs have been taken care of and your assets are secure, adding a little wealth insurance could prove valuable someday.

We would be glad to show you some of the coins described in the videos. You get a different sense or perspective when they are held in hand.
