Many investors are aware of the value of diversification in an investment portfolio. Unfortunately the precious metals asset class is left empty due to the fact that most financial advisors and brokerage firms only want to sell stocks, bonds or insurance products.
Most investors hold their IRA investments in a bank, an insurance company or brokerage firm. Those firms are qualified by the IRS to hold assets in trust for you. They make sure that the assets held in their IRA's are approved for IRA investments. To simplify their book keeping and fiduciary responsibilities they only allow a minimal number of investment options.
Self directed IRA accounts are different from traditional IRA accounts. Self directed accounts are more flexible than traditional bank or brokerage IRA's. Nearly any activity or investment from Real-estate, Gold or Silver, Stocks, Bonds, annuities, or life settlements can be placed inside these specially approved accounts.
