How to get started
The Process
Get your Precious Metals IRA setup in 4 easy steps.
Open your Self-directed IRA
To invest in a Precious Metals IRA, open a self-directed IRA account. Accurate Precious Metals can help you find a qualified custodian experienced in managing precious metal investments. This custodian will oversee transactions, paperwork, and storage for your IRA.
Fund your Precious Metals IRA
To start your retirement savings, transfer or roll over funds from an existing IRA or 401(k) into your new self-directed Precious Metals IRA. You can also make direct contributions to this account.
Acquiring metals for your IRA
Purchase precious metals through Accurate Precious Metals. Your IRA custodian will send funds to us, and we’ll ship the metals to a secure depository. Contact us to buy metals at a set price, and we’ll guide you through the transaction process.
Finalizing the purchase
After you approve the items and price, your custodian will pay us on behalf of your IRA. We’ll then ship the metals to an insured depository specializing in secure storage for precious metal investments.

Adding funds to your self-directed IRA account
Once the account is established (without funds), our IRA processing team will share the new account information with your current custodian. You’ll then confirm how much you’d like to fund the account with. Please note that this part may take the longest, as neither we nor you will have control over it.
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.

Things to consider
Contribution Limits
Your annual IRA contribution limit is fixed, regardless of the number of accounts. You can use IRA funds to buy bullion, but the contribution cap remains unchanged.
Restrictions
You can’t add personal bullion coins to a Precious Metals IRA. Instead, store them in a separate depository account with storage fees, which also provides insurance.
Allocation
Advisors recommend 10% to 15% of your portfolio in precious metals, based on your risk tolerance and goals.
Strategy
Factor in your long-term goals and risk tolerance when investing. Rebalance your portfolio annually to stay aligned with your strategy.
The process summarized
First, confirm that gold and silver investments suit your needs, decide on your investment amount, and complete the application process with our assistance. Next, fund your account, which usually takes two to three weeks depending on your current custodian, and use our guide to buy precious metals. Finally, ensure the funds are received by the new custodian.
Purchasing from Accurate Precious Metals
Once your funds are received at the new custodian, you can start the simple and easy process of ordering your precious metals for your new self directed precious metals IRA.
Collaborate with the order desk to choose your assets; they can offer guidance and education, but they aren’t financial advisors and can’t select assets for you. Feel free to ask any specific questions about the assets.
Confirm your order with a signed agreement to lock in prices and finalize your precious metals purchase, which will be prepared for shipment to the depository. The custodian will then send us the funds.
Once your purchase is complete, you’ll receive all the necessary paperwork for review.
