Self-Directed IRA

Gold IRA Glossary

An IRA that lets you hold alternative assets, such as physical precious metals or real estate, that standard brokerage IRAs do not offer. You choose the investments, while a specialized custodian administers the account. Every Gold IRA is a self-directed IRA, though self-directed accounts can hold many asset types beyond metals.

Precious metals prices fluctuate and can lose value, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Before making any investment or retirement decision, consult a qualified financial, tax, or legal professional.
