Did you know that physical precious metal could be held in an IRS approved accredited retirement account? The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 expanded the precious metal holdings allowed in IRAs. Allowing gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins and which meet the specified criteria to be physically owned in an IRS approved tax-deferred program.

The Case For Owning Physical Precious Metals

An precious metals IRA account offers investors the ability to properly diversify, hedge against inflation, and potential for growth when geo-economic uncertainty is in play. Tax advantages, global liquidity, and additional stability are what a precious metal IRA can offer. The primary benefits of precious metals include serving as a hedge against inflation, providing portfolio diversification, offering stability during economic uncertainty, and acting as a store of value over the long term.

Precious metals have a comparatively low or negative correlation when compared to stocks and paper assets. When the values of other assets decrease, precious metals will likely rise in value and promote portfolio balance and stability.

Unlike many traditional paper investments, physical precious metals carry zero debt. This means that no one can borrow or loan against your physical precious metal holdings. When debt is associated with an investment, a higher level of risk is present. Due to the absence of debt, physical precious metals are considered a conservative long-term investment. Physical precious metals are free from the risk associated with debt.

Precious metals are not prone to mismanagement or mishandling by corporations or government entities. Owning precious metals in an IRA can help insulate your financial future from the risks involved with a governments reckless and irresponsible spending.

Also, unlike a conventional retirement plan, a precious metal IRA gives you the ability to know exactly where your physical asset is stored and located.

The Same Rules Apply

Orion Metal Exchange’s Gold IRA accounts fall under the same tax laws that other IRA accounts do. All contributions to a traditional gold IRA account can be taxed deferred and federal income taxes are only applicable if you choose to withdraw value from your account.

As is the case with all IRAs, you cannot withdraw any proceeds or precious metals from your IRA account until you reach 59.5 years of age. If you withdraw before that, you will be obligated to pay a 10% penalty due to early withdrawal.

Moreover, if you were born before 12/01/2022, you are required to make regular withdrawals after 72.5 years of age. If a withdrawal is made from a pre-tax IRA program, a tax consequence will apply. If a withdrawal is made from a post-tax retirement account, the withdrawal will be tax-free, as is the case in a Roth IRA account.
