Monex, Precious Metals, and your IRA
Most IRAs only offer paper assets whereas through Monex, you can have physical metal delivered and stored for your IRA using an independent IRA custodian that you select. Monex will help you open your IRA with whichever independent, third-party IRA Trustee/Custodian you choose. When your IRA is opened and funded, you simply place your order for the metal you want and Monex will take care of the rest, it’s that simple.
The other major advantage with using Monex when purchasing metal for delivery to your IRA is our two-way buy/sell market. Not only do you always know the value of your metals, but you can also realize that value by simply calling a Monex account representative and selling your metal at any time when the Monex market is open.
In addition to opening a brand new Precious Metal IRA account, you can also transfer or rollover funds from an existing IRA, Roth IRA, or employer retirement account into a Precious Metals IRA. A Monex Account Representative can assist you in selecting whether a gold IRA account, silver IRA account, or other type of precious metal IRA is right for you. This decision along with the selection of an IRA Trustee/ Custodian would be all determined by you the investor.
Setting Up Your Precious Metals IRA
Once your Precious Metals IRA account has been established and funded, utilizing your IRA is as simple as making a call.

Compelling Reasons Why Everyone Should Consider an IRA
Basic Rules of an IRA
Anyone who has earned income, or is the spouse of a wage earner, is eligible to open a precious metals IRA, and there is no limit to how many IRA accounts an individual may have. The maximum yearly contribution to all of an individual's traditional and Roth IRAs is currently $6,000 ($7,000 for those 50 years or older), or 100% of earned income, whichever is less. However, there is no maximum dollar amount on transfers or rollovers from an existing IRA account to a gold IRA, silver IRA, or any precious metals IRA accounts. Consult with a tax specialist for specific IRS rules and IRA investment advice.
Silver and Gold IRA Rollovers & Transfers
If you already have one or more IRA accounts or movable funds in an employer retirement plan, you can transfer or "rollover" some or all of those assets into a precious metals IRA account. A transfer occurs when IRA funds are moved at your request directly from one IRA to another, without you taking control or custody of the funds. A rollover, such as a gold IRA rollover, takes place when a distribution from an employer retirement plan is made directly to your gold IRA trustee/custodian by the plan administrator.
