Rollover
Gold IRA Glossary
Moving money from one retirement account to another, such as from a 401(k) into an IRA, without paying taxes on the amount moved. Rollovers can be direct, where funds move between institutions, or indirect, where you receive the money and redeposit it within 60 days. Rollovers are the most common way people fund a Gold IRA, since they are not limited by annual contribution caps.
