Buy physical gold with 401k and protect your savings

Owning physical gold or silver coins and bars can offset the money-stealing effects of inflation, crisis and stock market volatility.

  • Diversify: Gold and silver prices move differently than the stock market, real estate or bitcoin.
  • Track record: People have used gold and silver as money for thousands of years.
  • Fight inflation: If you bought $5,000 of gold in 2000, it would be worth about $79,000 today.*
  • No counterparty risk: Gold and silver do not rely on a company or a bank to have value.
  • Scarcity: Gold and silver have a limited supply and cannot be worth zero like a stock can.

Convert 401k to Gold IRA without taxes or penalty

You can avoid taxes and penalties when you roll over your 401k by using a direct rollover. Ask your 401k administrator to send your funds directly to your IRA custodian.

The administrator transfers the money to the custodian, so the funds never pass through your hands and stay in a tax-advantaged retirement account.
