Why should I consider investing in precious metals?
Precious metals have been a time-tested investment, often serving as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty. They are tangible assets that can diversify your investment portfolio and potentially protect your wealth against the volatility of the stock market and currency fluctuations.
What types of precious metals can I invest in?
Freedom Gold offers a variety of investment-grade precious metals, including gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. These come in the form of coins, bullion bars, and other approved forms for Gold IRAs.
How is the price of gold and other precious metals determined?
Precious metals prices are influenced by a number of factors, including supply and demand, market conditions, geopolitical stability, and economic data. Prices are typically set by the global markets and are updated throughout the trading day.
What are the tax benefits of a Gold IRA?
Gold IRAs have the same tax benefits as traditional IRAs. Depending on the type of IRA you choose (Traditional or Roth), you may benefit from tax-deductible contributions or tax-free withdrawals.
Can I take physical possession of the metals in my Gold IRA?
IRS regulations require that all metals in a Gold IRA be stored in a secure, IRS-approved depository until the owner reaches retirement age. At that time, you can choose to sell your metals for cash or take physical possession of them without penalty, subject to the IRA's distribution rules.
