A Gold IRA — straightforward and safe
What is a Gold IRA?
A gold IRA or precious metals IRA is an Individual Retirement and/or savings Account that includes physical gold, or other IRS-approved precious metals such as silver, platinum, and palladium. A Gold IRA functions in the same way as a traditional IRA — however, instead of holding paper assets, you can buy and own physical bullion coins or bars.
Since gold is the most common precious metal invested into an IRA, the term "gold IRA" is used most often in the industry to refer to a retirement and/or savings account containing any combination of approved precious metals.
You may have little to no say in your investments if you choose a conventional IRA or 401(k) with a bank or brokerage firm. But when you open a self-directed IRA with Heartland Capital, you are empowered to make your own investment decisions and choose for yourself which IRA-eligible precious metal coins, bullion, and bars to invest in.

Gold IRA vs Physical Gold: Pros, Cons, Costs, and the Home Storage Trap
A gold IRA and physical gold you keep yourself are the same metal in two different wrappers. One gives you a tax shelter and someone else holds the coins. The other puts the coins in your hand and gives you no tax shelter at all. For most people, the right choice comes down to where the money is sitting today.
How to Easily Convert Paper Assets into Physical Gold and Silver in a Tax-Free IRA Rollover
If you're looking to protect your retirement savings from inflation, market volatility, or a weakening dollar, converting paper assets like stocks and bonds into physical gold and silver inside a self-directed IRA is a powerful move—and easier than most people realize.
