Gold and silver backed IRAs are similar to standard IRAs, except a precious metals IRA gives you the freedom to diversify your portfolio with physical gold and silver.
In a few simple steps, a Reagan Gold Group Commodity Specialist will walk you through the application process. Your current provider sends a check or wire transfer to the custodian of your choice, where the funds are deposited into your account. As long as this process is complete within a 60-day timeframe, there will be no penalties or taxes.
The process is simple. It can take 24 to 48 hours to open the account. A transfer from your current custodian to fund the account, however, could take up to a week. Cash contributions move more quickly to fund the account.
