Balance and Diversify
with Gold & Silver

Protect Your Hard-Earned Life Savings

In today’s economic landscape, it is hard to tell what the future will bring. But history has shown precious metals to be a solid vehicle for wealth preservation in uncertain times, helping to balance out market fluctuations and downturns your other assets may experience. Lear Capital can help simplify the process of rolling into a Precious Metals IRA.

4 Benefits
of a Precious Metals IRA

01

Invest in a Hard Asset

Unlike traditional IRAs, which typically hold stocks and bonds, a self-directed IRA (SDIRA) allows you to hold alternative asset classes, such as precious metals, in your tax-advantaged retirement account. Certain types of physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium qualify under IRS rules.

Precious metals are ideal for retirement savings because they are tangible, rare and meant to be held for long-term stability. They have functioned as money for thousands of years and have never been worth zero.

02

Tax-advantaged Growth

IRA rollovers are tax and penalty-free when done correctly. Trust an experienced professional to assist you! You can rollover, or transfer assets from a traditional IRA or qualified retirement plans like a 401(k), 401(2), 403(b), 457 or TSP (Thrift Savings Plan). The best part? Your gains are tax-deferred.

03
Safe Storage for your Metals

IRS rules state you MUST store your IRA assets with an approved custodian. Lear Capital has a long-standing relationship with the Delaware Depository Service Company (DDSC), an industry-leading, IRS-approved, fully insured, state-of-the-art bank vault. They’ve gained the trust of Lear customers, and many others, going back to 1999.

04

Flexible Distribution Options

When it’s time to take a distribution, in addition to liquidating to receive cash, Precious Metals IRAs offer an option that other IRAs cannot: you can take physical possession of your metals, and potentially benefit from price growth.

Why Own
Precious Metals?

1

Hedge Against an
Uncertain Stock Market

Did anyone imagine the market could take such a swift turn in 2020 when the pandemic first hit, or think there was a problem one month before the 2008 financial crisis?

Nobody can see these shocks coming. That’s why the diversification of assets is important and could protect investors from unforeseen market upsets.

Is your portfolio diversified? Gold and silver provide many investors with peace of mind for the health of their portfolio.

Protect Your
Purchasing Power

The national debt now exceeds the $34 trillion mark and the dollar’s purchasing power continues to dwindle.

Meanwhile, gold has a centuries-long history of maintained purchasing power. Sixty (60) one-ounce gold coins in 2000, at $279 an ounce, would have bought you a nice new car for $16,740. At the end of 2023, with gold at $2,078 an ounce, those same 60 coins would get you a $124,680 new car. Now that’s how you can preserve your purchasing power!

Build Wealth With
A Tangible Asset

It is not just some blip on a statement, or a line on a chart. No government can simply print it into existence.

Precious metals are tangible and rare. As finite resources, they have inherent value and are trusted by central banks, billionaires and informed investors.

EASY STEPS TO OPEN AN IRA

1. Open a self-directed IRA account by completing a short application.
2. Transfer funds. Your new Precious Metals custodian works directly with your current custodian to rollover all or a portion of your funds into your new Precious Metals IRA. We are always here to help along the way.
3. Select your metals. Once funds have been deposited into your account, you are ready to select and purchase your metals.
4. Safe storage at an insured depository, where your account is safe and secure.

What Happens
When it's Time
to Take a
Distribution?

A Precious Metals IRA
Has Distinct
Distribution Options

Precious Metals IRAs have advantages when you are looking to take a distribution or withdrawal. You have the choice between two different types of distributions:

Cash Distribution

Lear Capital can help you liquidate all or a portion of your physical metals and you choose whether you'd prefer to receive a check or a bank wire in US dollars.

In-Kind Metals Distribution

You may elect to have all or a portion of your physical metals shipped directly to you for private storage. Unlike stocks, which are liquidated for cash, you can hold on to precious metals after distribution and potentially benefit from price growth.

You can hold on to your coins, pass them on to children or grandchildren or liquidate as needed or desired.
