Fees & Storage:

Advantage Gold has a $25K minimum for establishing a gold IRA. There is a $50 setup fee to set up the IRA custodian, with flat annual fees - an annual administrative fee ranging from $95 - $100 and precious metals storage fees ranging from about $100 to $150 annually, at this writing. For those who are new to Advantage Gold, qualified funding of your account with over $25K is eligible for free, insured shipping (2-3 business days). For those who invest $50K or more, all fees are waived for the first year. There may also be other promotions so be sure to inquire.. 

For safe storage of your metals, Advantage Gold  uses multiple private companies that offer you a choice of depository locations - the well-regarded Delaware Depository and Brinks Global Services. These IRA approved depositories carry all risk insurance from Lloyds of London.  For custodians, Advantage Gold partners with Equity Trust Company and STRATA Trust Company.

Support & Service:

A theme in customer reviews is the high level of service from Advantage Gold representative from the promptness of receiving their informative Gold IRA kit, communication with representatives, to the establishment of your Gold IRA. When the time comes to liquidate your holdings, their buyback program will pay you the fair market value - at least the spot price but sometimes more.  Request their Gold IRA kit for details and be sure to inquire when speaking to a representative.
