Can precious metals be part of a retirement account?
Some self-directed retirement account structures may permit certain precious metals, subject to applicable requirements. Account rules and eligibility depend on individual circumstances. We can explain general considerations for your conversation; tax or legal questions should go to a qualified professional.
Does investing in gold or silver guarantee a return?
No. Precious metals prices can move up or down, and you may receive less than you invested. Metals do not produce interest or dividends, and they may not suit every investor.
Will I have to make a decision on the first call?
No. A conversation is a chance to ask questions and understand possible next steps. You choose whether to continue.
