A Gold IRA, built the way institutions would build it.
Roll over an existing 401(k), TSP, or IRA into allocated physical gold — held in your name, insured, and audited. No commissions on storage. No pressure.
Why a Gold IRA
A hedge that has outlasted every currency in history.
True Diversification
Physical gold has near-zero correlation to equities and bonds — the two assets that dominate most retirement accounts.
Tax-Advantaged Growth
Your gold appreciates inside the same tax wrapper as a traditional or Roth IRA. No capital-gains events until distribution.
Direct Ownership
Serialized bars and coins are allocated to your account — not a claim on a pool. You can request delivery at retirement.
Gold IRA Rollover
Three steps from paper to allocated metal.
Eligible accounts include 401(k), 403(b), 457(b), TSP, SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, and traditional or Roth IRAs.
Open a Self-Directed IRA
We introduce you to a vetted, IRA-approved custodian and complete the paperwork on your behalf. Setup typically takes 24–48 hours.
Fund via Direct Rollover
Your current custodian transfers funds directly to the new IRA — a non-reportable event with no tax withholding and no 60-day window risk.
Purchase & Allocate Metal
Your advisor executes at institutional pricing. Bars and coins are shipped, serialized, and logged in the depository under your account.
IRA-Eligible Gold
Only bullion that meets the standard.
The IRA requires .995 fineness or greater for gold held in an IRA. Freedom Vault sources exclusively from LBMA-accredited refiners and sovereign mints.

Frequently Asked
Answers, in plain language.
What is a Gold IRA?
A Gold IRA is a self-directed individual retirement account that holds IRA-approved physical gold bullion in your name, in a regulated depository, with the same tax treatment as a traditional or Roth IRA.
How does a Gold IRA rollover work?
Freedom Vault coordinates a direct, tax-neutral custodian-to-custodian transfer from your existing 401(k), 403(b), TSP, or IRA. Most rollovers complete in two to three weeks with zero tax reporting events for the account holder.
Is a Gold IRA safe?
Your metals are stored in Class III depositories, fully allocated and segregated in your name, insured by Lloyd's of London, and audited quarterly by independent third parties. You receive serialized bar and coin documentation.
What is the minimum investment for a Gold IRA?
Freedom Vault works with account sizes starting at $25,000. Larger portfolios receive dedicated senior-advisor coverage and preferred custody pricing.
Are Gold IRA fees higher than a standard IRA?
Gold IRAs carry a custodian fee and a depository storage fee — typically a flat $180–$260 per year combined at Freedom Vault. There are no percentage-based AUM fees, so costs do not scale with your account.
