Over 45 million American households have a traditional or Roth individual retirement account (IRA). But only a tiny minority of American IRAs are self-directed, a special kind of account with all the same tax advantages of typical IRAs, but granting greater freedom to invest in alternative assets such as gold, silver, cryptocurrencies, real estate, and more.
Looking for the top-ranked IRA providers in America? At Gold IRA Guide, we’ve reviewed the most trusted IRA companies no matter what kind of asset class you’re looking to invest in. Our rankings are based on objective criteria, aggregating quantitative scores from customer review agencies including the Better Business Bureau, TrustPilot, and Consumer Affairs.
