ONE STEP AT A TIME
Here is the basic sequence to discuss when an eligible retirement rollover and physical metals purchase make sense for you.
Read the guides and write down your questions. Look at the alternatives available in your current plan. Keep enough time to review costs and ask for independent advice.
A self-directed IRA is the account used for the retirement purchase. Equity Trust can serve as its custodian. Choose the account type carefully so it matches the intended funding and tax treatment.
The current plan or IRA and the receiving custodian coordinate the funding. Follow their written instructions. Receiving money personally introduces different rules, so clarify the route first.
Review specific gold or silver products, their price, and IRA acceptance. Compare what you pay with what the same product could be sold for today. Authorize a purchase only when the details are clear.
For the IRA, storage is arranged through the custodian. Delaware Depository is an option to discuss. Keep your records together and ask how you will receive account statements and handle a later sale.
A SEPARATE PATH · PERSONAL OWNERSHIP
A personal purchase uses your own non-IRA funds. Review the products and written quote, agree to the payment terms, then pay by the accepted method, such as check or wire. Confirm the payee independently before sending money.
For an eligible FedEx shipment arranged by the seller, confirm tracking, signature requirements, and the shipment’s insurance coverage in the written terms. FedEx declared value is not the same as shipping insurance. Delivery timing and coverage depend on the actual arrangement.
Decide how personally owned metals will be secured and insured. Delaware Depository also offers personal storage arrangements. An IRA purchase follows the custodian’s depository process rather than ordinary home delivery.
