What It Is
A self-directed IRA structure that can hold government-approved bullion products.
Precious Metals IRAs
A Precious Metals Individual Retirement Account allows individuals to hold physical gold and silver, in bullion form, within a tax-advantaged retirement account.
While this is not the approach we generally recommend as the primary method for holding precious metals, we recognize that a Precious Metals IRA may be your preferred choice for metals acquisition or for diversification within a retirement structure.
How It’s Held
Metals are stored offsite through an approved depository and administered by a third-party custodian.
Why Clients Use It
Retirement diversification while maintaining potential tax advantages.

Important To Understand
These accounts may only hold government-approved bullion products and are managed by a third-party custodian. As such, the metals are stored offsite and subject to oversight. This structure may carry greater exposure in the event of future regulatory changes.
Key Considerations
- Third-party custodian administration
- Only government-approved bullion products
- Offsite storage and oversight
- Rules and regulations can change over time

1 oz Gold Kangaroo (In Plastic, Varied Year)
The Australian Gold Kangaroo coin hasn’t always displayed a kangaroo. When the series first started in 1986, the original design showed an image of a simple gold nugget. This meteorite-looking image wasn’t physically desirable, leading to low public interest. After three years, The Perth Mint decided to change the coin's design to feature one of the country’s leading animals - the kangaroo. But because the series was originally a gold nugget, the coin is still occasionally called the Australian Gold Nugget Coin.
