WHAT IS A SILVER IRA?

The Silver IRA is no different than a Gold IRA. The four major precious metals (gold, silver, platinum, and palladium) in certain coin and bar forms are all permissible IRA assets. In fact, many investors who chose to add precious metals to their IRA, buy a combination of two or more of the major precious metals.

Also, like a Gold IRA, a Silver IRA functions essentially the same as any other retirement plan; only the asset type is different. You can still make make annual IRA contributions (which can be held in cash or used to buy more silver). You can always sell your IRA silver easily (see our section on selling IRA Gold and Silver). You can always take distributions out of you precious metals IRA: you may take the physical silver itself or sell the silver and take cash.

When you convert your IRA to silver, you do not pay any taxes or penalties nor are you required to file the transaction on your tax returns. The process generally requires nothing more than a change in custodian which can be done via a rollover or direct transfer of your current IRA or retirement plan.

While we use the term Silver IRA as a general term; however, a Traditional IRA is, by no means that the only type of retirement plan that can own physical silver. The Experts at Midas Gold Group can also help you convert other retirement plans to physical silver. We regularly work with the following plans:

All of these plans and more can generally be converted to physical silver.

Creating a Silver IRA is a simple process, but a significant error can cause the account holder to lose IRA status and he or she may be on the hook for significant taxes any penalties. When dealing with your IRA, make sure that you are dealing with an experienced professional, not a salesman. Midas Gold Groups has decades of IRA experience and we stand by every transaction.

WHY SILVER IN YOUR IRA

Global Silver Demand

Silver has been viewed as money for thousands of years of human history. Since the Industrial Revolution silver has become the second most consumed element on earth after oil. Silver is highly used and irreplaceable in the solar, electrical, and mechanical fields, all of which are expanding industries. Meanwhile, silver production from mining is on a decline that is expected to continue for at least the next decade. While demand for silver from the investment sector has fallen in recent years, demand from emerging markets in China and India is soaring. At current price levels, silver appears to be a tremendous value with tremendous long-term upside potential.

Silver is Near a Historically Low Relative to Gold

Many investors who are building or evaluating their hard asset portfolio should pay attention to the gold-to-silver ratio, or the the number of ounces of silver required to buy one ounce of gold based on the spot market prices.

At the beginning of 2021, this ratio is near 75. As you can see from the chart silver is somewhat undervalued compared to gold. During the next financial crash, gold and silver prices are both likely to rise due to investment demand for a safe-haven assets and demand for a private tangible currency. Due to its low price and short supply, silver may have much more percentage upside in this scenario compared to gold.

Silver Is Diversification

Many wise investors, young and old, own silver as part of a diversified portfolio. Silver in its physical form, like gold, is a fundamentally different investment or asset class than virtually every other investment that may be available though your stock broker, insurance agent, or banker. Traditional investments such as stocks, annuities, bonds, and mutual funds are all subject to third party or counterparty risk. These investments are all paper assets that are only as good as both the third party who holds the account and the value of the paper currency that designates the asset’s value. Essentially traditional investments involve handing your hard earned money to a third party in hopes of a return.

Once again, Silver is a time-tested and enduring asset that has has held value for thousands of years of human history. When you own physical silver in your IRA, you hold true tangible wealth, the value of which is not dependent on the stability of a third party or the continued faith in a paper fiat currency. Physical silver may not always be guaranteed to give a return on investment over a given period but is always guaranteed to give you a return of your investment in something valuable.
