Unlike a mutual fund, ETF, or paperbacked IRA, a self-directed IRA through Entrust gives clients the flexibility of investing in physical precious metals – including gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins and/or bullion. The coins or bars are purchased through Credit Gold and Silver and stored at a nationally recognized depository. For a full list of popular IRA-allowed metals click here.

The term “self-directed” simply means that you, as an individual, have complete control over selecting and directing your individual retirement account investments. You make all decisions regarding your investments. The self-directed IRA custodian or administrator completes the documents required to establish your account and purchase your investment.

With a physical precious metals IRA, it is important to understand the four parties involved. The four key parties are you, the IRA custodian/administrator, Credit Gold and Silver, and the precious metal depository.  Click here to get more information and to get started.
