Precious Metal IRA
A self-directed precious metals IRA lets you hold physical gold, silver, platinum, or palladium inside a tax-advantaged retirement account. NextGen Bullion partners with Equity Trust Company and Strata Trust Company, two of the largest and most established self-directed IRA custodians in the United States, to facilitate the account setup, compliance, reporting, and storage requirements.
How It Works
1. Open a self-directed IRA with Equity Trust or Strata Trust.
2. Fund the account by rolling over from an existing IRA, 401(k), 403(b), TSP, or other qualified retirement account, or by making a new contribution within IRS limits.
3. Select IRA-eligible metals from our catalog. Gold must be .995 fine or higher; silver must be .999 fine or higher; platinum and palladium must be .9995 fine or higher.
4. Your metals are shipped to an IRS-approved depository, where they are held in your account's name.
Tax Treatment
When executed as a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer, rollovers are generally not taxable and do not trigger early withdrawal penalties, subject to IRS rules. For guidance specific to your situation, consult a qualified tax professional.
