Precious Metals IRA Firms

In the United States, Individual Retirement Accounts or IRAs are a popular type of account structure that allows people to save for retirement. One benefit of IRAs over other types of retirement plans or accounts is that they can be funded with pre-tax income. In addition, IRAs are one of the most flexible types of retirement plans regarding the types of investments that can be held within them. In particular, self-directed IRAs allow account holders to purchase precious metals while reaping the tax advantages that are typical to all IRAs. To purchase precious metals to hold within an IRA, the IRA holder must have a custodian account with a precious metals-friendly IRA custodian firm.
