Diversify and Protect with a Gold IRA
The AHG Gold IRA
After a lifetime of hard work and smart investing, the last thing you want to worry about is losing your retirement savings. Faced with record inflation, a volatile stock market and a broken economy, you need to protect your assets. A Gold IRA is one of the best ways to secure your assets and gain peace of mind.
What Is A Gold IRA?
Trusted by thousands of Americans, a Gold IRA allows you to invest in physical gold coins or bars within an individual retirement account. Also known as a precious metals IRA, this unique self-directed IRA gives you more control over your future by combining the wealth-building power of tax-deferment with the wealth protection features of tangible gold.
Why Invest In A Gold IRA?
Gold has been used as a ‘safe haven’ asset to protect against turbulent times for generations. Historically, precious metal prices rise during market downturns and shield against both inflation and recession. Owning physical precious metals inside of your retirement account can be your best option to diversify your assets and protect your family’s future.
How To Invest In A Gold IRA?
A Gold IRA is remarkably easy to set up. There is no need to sell your assets from your current 401(k) or IRA to invest in gold. Instead, you can simply rollover or transfer funds from your existing retirement account. Best of all, these rollovers are tax free and penalty free. You will have protected the value of your assets without having to invest any additional money.
With American Hartford Gold, you can establish your Gold IRA in just three simple steps:

How A Gold IRA Benefits You
Tax-Deferment
You can rollover an existing IRA to a Gold IRA without losing any tax advantages. Once established, taxes on gains are deferred until your metals are withdrawn from the account or sold.
Wealth Protection
Gold and silver have historically acted as critical hedges against rising inflation, an eroding U.S. dollar and increased market volatility. Looking over the 15 years from 2005 to 2020, the price of gold has increased by 330%. Over the same period, the DJIA increased by only 153%.
And during the 2008 crash, when the stock market lost more than 50% of its value, the value of gold increased an incredible 25%!
Diversification
Gold-backed IRAs can help you fulfill a well-diversified strategy. A retirement fund should have a mix of stocks and bonds. But gold adds the true benefits of diversification. If the market crashes or if your other securities lose their worth, gold will protect the value of your account.
Control Over Your Investment
When it comes to investing, one size does not fit all. The AHG Gold IRA offers you a high degree of autonomy over your account. You can decide which depository to use, which bars or coins you want, when to buy or sell, and whether to take distributions in cash or physical gold. You can customize your own personal experience and do what is best for you. AHG strives for total transparency in every transaction to help you achieve your financial goals.

Physical Assets
If your retirement plan is over-exposed to typical paper securities, you are taking unnecessary risks with your future. Stocks, bonds, currency and now, crypto currency, are only as strong as the systems that support them. Current events show that the value of currency and stocks can disappear overnight. However, physical assets hold their intrinsic value regardless of what is happening in the world. Therefore, they have been a safe haven of wealth for centuries.
Easy To Establish and Maintain
Your precious metals IRA can be established in a few easy steps. American Hartford Gold is there for you through the whole process to assist with the paperwork and answer any questions you may have.
