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.

Simply put, gold 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.

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.

The United States government currently allows certain bullion and proof coins such as gold and silver American Eagles to be held in IRAs.

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.

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 IRA account that receives the funds. Transfers may be made as often as you want. You can be assured that Regal Assets 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 IRA account and then turn around and deposit it in another IRA custodial account. In this case you would need to re-deposit the funds into the new IRA 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.

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 new job’s retirement plan you could roll your old plan over into your new job’s new one. 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 company’s 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’s: 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’s 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.
