TSP to Gold IRA Rollover
A Thrift Savings Plan rollover is first a TSP distribution decision. Confirm eligibility and compare what you would give up before moving to a self-directed IRA.
Before leaving the TSP
- Review current TSP investment and administrative costs.
- Confirm the portion eligible for rollover and its tax character.
- Compare beneficiary, withdrawal and account-management features.
- Ask the receiving IRA custodian exactly how funds will be titled and received.
Then evaluate precious metals
A rollover does not make precious metals appropriate. Separately assess asset concentration, liquidity needs, dealer pricing and ongoing IRA costs.
