Things To Consider

IRA Contribution Limits

The maximum annual contribution to an IRA remains the same even if you have multiple accounts. You can buy as much bullion as you like with funds you already in your IRA accounts, but the yearly contribution stays the same.

How Much To Allocate

Investment advisors generally recommend that between 10% to 15% of your wealth be allocated toward precious metals, depending on the investor’s risk tolerance and financial goals. Think about your real estate, cryptocurrency, and other financial assets.

IRA Bullion Restrictions

You are unable to contribute already owned bullion coins to your Precious Metals IRA, but you are able to send them separately from your IRA to a secure depository. To do so, you need to set up a separate account and pay fees for storage at the depository. This offers an added benefit of securely insuring your bullion and other assets stored there.

IRA Investment Strategy

When deciding how much to allocate, investors should consider their long-term needs and the amount of risk they are willing to take, as well as rebalancing their portfolio every year.

While the funds are being transferred, we recommend scheduling a meeting to discuss precious metals options, as funding might take a few weeks. This way, you can review the information while waiting for the funds. We prefer conducting this session closer to when the funds arrive at the custodian, so the information is fresh in your mind.
