From first questions to owning physical precious metals in an IRA
Learn first
Augusta describes its web conference as an education session designed to explain gold IRAs, diversification, and questions to ask before buying.
Set up the account
If you move forward, a self directed IRA is established with a custodian. Funding the account and choosing metals are separate steps.
Choose eligible metals
Qualifying physical gold and silver are purchased for the account and sent to an appropriate depository rather than kept personally while held in the IRA.
Know what matters before choosing a gold IRA company
The company you choose can shape the buying experience, account setup, storage process, and what happens when you eventually want to sell. Compare those details before making a decision.
