Gold IRA Storage Options

Gold IRA assets must be stored in an IRS-approved depository. You can choose between segregated storage, where your metals are stored separately and identified by account, or non-segregated (commingled) storage, where metals are pooled with those of other investors. Leading depositories include Delaware Depository, Brink’s, and CNT Depository. Home storage of IRA metals is not allowed by the IRS; attempting to store gold at home can trigger taxes and penalties. When selecting a storage option, compare annual storage fees, insurance coverage, and security features.
