Why physical gold

Three reasons investors hold real metal in 2025.

Not a speculation — a position. Used the same way central banks have used it for a century.

It's actually yours

Every bar and coin is allocated and serialized in your name — never pooled, never lent out, never on our balance sheet.

Hedges what dollars can't

Since 2000, the US dollar has lost 46% of its purchasing power. Physical gold rose +741% over the same period.

Tax-sheltered inside an IRA

A self-directed IRA lets your metal grow tax-deferred. We coordinate the rollover end-to-end — you sign two forms.

Pricing

Transparent fees. No surprises.

What you pay above spot, and what storage costs annually. Posted publicly — same rate whether you call us today or in five years.

No. A trustee-to-trustee transfer into a self-directed IRA is non-taxable under IRC §408. We coordinate with your existing custodian end-to-end; you sign two forms.

Every bar is allocated, serialized, and held in your name at an insured Class-3 depository. You receive bar-list documentation and can request in-kind delivery any time after age 59½ (or anytime in a non-IRA account).

$25,000 for a new IRA or 401(k) rollover. Non-retirement accounts have no formal minimum, though pricing is most efficient at $50,000+.

A transparent premium of 2.5–4.9% over daily spot (depending on tier and product), plus annual storage and insurance of 0.50–0.80%. Setup is free. All costs disclosed in writing before purchase.

Your metal sits at an independent depository in your name — never on our balance sheet. Our solvency has no effect on your ownership.

Yes. We buy back at daily spot with a small dealer spread. Settlement is typically T+2 business days.
