Precious Metals

Gold and other precious metals are often seen as hedges against inflation and economic downturn. Since precious metals have intrinsic value and accepted commodity value, they can offer a strong hedge against a weak dollar or serve as a bullish asset for the long term.

Historically, precious metals served as currency but are now regarded primarily as an investment and industrial commodity. 

For example, gold, silver, platinum, and palladium each have their own ISO 4217 currency code.

Unfortunately, many conventional retirement plans restrict investor access to precious metals–aside from metal stocks–despite their relative long-term stability.

Thankfully, My Smart Rollover offers investors the ability to purchase and hold gold and other precious metals directly, granted they follow proper rules.
