Technology is invading every aspect of our lives–including our finances. In a world where it seems like everything financial is being digitized, people are looking for a trusted link to physical reality. Opening a gold IRA as part of your retirement planning is one way to create that link.

Some of the primary principles of investing are: stability, sustainability, and longevity. Each of these requires time to develop a track record of results. Gold and silver have been part of the monetary system for 5,000 years of recorded history. They’ve existed since the planet was formed, and they will be here as long as it remains. They have a proven track record.

Meanwhile, digital assets such as cryptocurrencies have been in existence for just over a decade. As we now see, the present reality is that cryptos as a group are not a trusted asset class. Individual projects are promising, but even those lack the crucial ingredient that forms trust – long-term proven results based on measurable reality.

What is a Gold IRA?

A Gold IRA is a self-directed retirement account that holds physical gold and other precious metals, providing a trusted link to physical reality in an increasingly digital financial world.

How does a Gold IRA work for retirement planning?

You open a self-directed IRA, fund it through contributions or rollovers, and purchase physical gold or precious metals, which are stored in an IRS-approved depository until retirement.

What are the benefits of investing in a Gold IRA?

Gold provides stability, sustainability, and longevity with a 5,000-year track record—offering proven results based on measurable reality, unlike digital assets with only a decade of history.

What are the risks associated with a Gold IRA?

Risks include gold price volatility, storage costs, potential dealer premiums, liquidity timing, dependence on custodian reliability, and no income generation (dividends or interest).

How does a Gold IRA compare to a traditional IRA or 401k?

Traditional IRAs/401ks hold stocks, bonds, and mutual funds; Gold IRAs hold physical precious metals—gold provides diversification and inflation protection that paper assets may lack.

What are the fees and costs associated with an OWNx Gold IRA?

$249 annual maintenance fee, 0.5% storage fee assessed monthly, and zero premiums on all precious metals purchases.
