Gold IRA Before Retirement
Approaching retirement is a common moment to revisit old 401(k)s and IRAs, but a rollover and a precious-metals allocation should be evaluated separately.
Before moving an employer plan
Compare plan fees, investment choices, withdrawal features and protections with the receiving IRA. Confirm you are eligible to take a rollover distribution.
Before buying metals
Decide how much liquidity you expect to need, whether the asset fits the rest of the portfolio, and whether you accept custody/storage costs and dealer spreads.
