Gold IRA As Your Retirement Plan?

A Gold IRA can reduce the volatility of your retirement portfolio. Historically, gold has moved counter to the direction of stocks, bonds and mutual funds. The technical term is that gold is negatively correlated to stocks.

Regardless of your traditional investment preferences, tangible assets like gold and silver can help make the profitability and safety of your retirement portfolio far more attainable.

Including gold within an existing portfolio could improve investment performance by either increasing returns without increasing risk, or by reducing risk without adversely affecting returns.

The performance data below represents the growth investors have seen by placing physical gold in a precious metal backed retirement account.

If you had purchased $33,000 of gold in 1971 when the United States abandon the Bretton Woods Exchange under president Richard Nixxon and held on to it during the last recent economic crisis you could sell that gold today for $701,687.00!!!.

From the traders of antiquity to today's most savvy investors, accumulating Gold stands the test of time. Gold is accumulated for a myriad of reasons including to hedge volatile stock markets, to offset fluctuating commodities prices and as a safe haven against falling home prices. To capitalize on consistent growth in value, Gold has always proven the safest investment.

What Coins Can Be Held in a Retirement Plan?

The United States government currently allows certain bullion and proof coins to be held in an IRA for retirement plans. The common phrase and most popular term for this is a Gold IRA . Here is the current list of acceptable precious metals for retirement accounts:

GOLD

• American Eagle coins (1)
• Austrailian Kangaroo/Nugget coins
• Austrian Philharmonic
• Canadian Maple Leaf coins
• Credit Suisse gold – PAMP Suisse gold Bars .999
• U.S. Buffalo Gold Uncirculated coins (No Proofs)
• Bars and rounds as referenced below (2)

SILVER

• American Eagle coins (1)
• Australian Kookaburra coins

• Mexican Libertad coins
• Bars and rounds as referenced below (2)

PLATINUM

• American Eagle coins (1)
• Australian Koala coins
• Canadian Maple Leaf coins
• Isle of Man Noble coins
• Bars and rounds as referenced below (2)

PALLADIUM

• Bars and rounds as referenced below (2)

*(1) Coins, including the American Eagle, that have undergone “certification” (also known as “slabbed” coins) are not acceptable in retirement plans at this time

*(2) Bars and rounds produced by manufacturers accredited by Nymex/Comex, LME, LBMA, NYSE/Liffe/CBOT, and ISE-9000 or a national mint. The minimum finenesses for bars are:

Gold .995+
Silver. 999+
Platinum .9995+
Palladiunm .9995+

Proof coins undergo a specialized minting process that uses select dies. Lustrous coin blanks are fed manually into the presses where they are struck multiple times to ensure softly frosted, detailed coin images raised above a mirror-like background. Mint inspectors review each coin before deeming it a proof and place it in a protective plastic case. Proof American Eagles come in satin-lined velvet presentation cases with official U.S. Mint Certificates of Authenticity.

Proof coins typically have a limited mintage and their prices are determined by multiple factors including: mintage, rarity, condition, age, the price of the particular metal, and demand. The United States government issues a limited number of proof coins each year and certain years have been known to sell out quickly. Due to their numismatic significance, proof coins typically carry a premium over their metal content, or bullion value. Their values, which do move up and down in markets, may not be as volatile as their bullion counterparts.

Bullion coins can be thought of as common coins. Their values are dependent upon and tied closely to the spot price of gold, silver, or platinum.

Should I Transfer or Rollover my Retirement Plan?

Your first alternative is a "transfer." This is something you can do at any time with your existing IRA, as long as the assets go “from custodian to custodian.” In a direct transfer, the money flows directly from one IRA custodian to another. This means the distribution check from the old IRA custodian must be made out in the name of the trustee or custodian of the new Gold IRA account that receives the funds. Transfers may be made as often as you want. You can be assured that Gold Bullion Reserve has organized hundreds of these types of transfers for our customers.

The second alternative is a "rollover." A rollover occurs when "you" receive the distribution from your existing retirement account and then turn around and deposit it in another retirement plan custodial account. In this case you would need to re-deposit the funds into the new retirement plan account within 60 days. If the 60 day time period is exceeded, you would be liable for taxes and penalties on the money withdrawn. You may roll over the same money only once every 12 months to preserve the tax-deferred status of your retirement savings.

What Happens if I Change Jobs?

Today, the average person works 2.3 years at a job before changing it. Often, when you do change jobs and companies, you have to decide what to do with that 401k, 403b or other retirement plans you've built while there. You then have to quickly assess the pros and cons of the options you have. Some will serve you well; some could prove utterly disastrous.

Your worst option would be to take the cash dispersal. It is tempting, that's for sure. But if you did take a lump-sum distribution and are under age 59 1/2, there are a few things that you will want to discuss with your tax advisor. First, the IRS could withhold 20% of your funds in anticipation of the income tax you'll have to pay. Also, there could be a 10% early with-drawl fee. So, you could see up to 30% of your retirement proceeds simply vanish, and possibly more if you have a high tax rate. Needless to say, this could rank among the worst of all choices.

Depending on your jobs retirement plan you could roll your old plan over into a gold backed retirement plan. Each company has different rules and regulations regarding retirement plans. Some firms will match employee contributions and some will not. You may find that your new companies 401(k) restricts investment options far more than your past plan did and may leave few investment choices (if they have a 401k). The best plans would permit a broad range of investment flexibility with no cost for switching among them. Unfortunately, these plans are tough to find.

The best option would be a self-directed IRA: Your "Take Control" Option. With a self-directed IRA, you have the option to rollover your old 401k or 403b, and maintain the tax-deferred benefits while avoiding taxes and penalties. But there is another important reason why this might be your best plan-successor choice: you'll have the greatest range of options in funding your plan and could minimize some of the risks. You can direct the investing yourself rather than be limited to the options some new plan administrator decides upon. For a portion of your retirement assets, the Golden IRA may offer a great way to diversify your assets.
