What to have ready before you dial
The first call runs faster when you have three things in front of you.
- A recent statement from the account you plan to move, such as a 401(k), 403(b), TSP or IRA
- The name of the plan administrator that holds it now
- A rough figure for how much you want in metals, even as a range
The minimum is $5,000, so any balance at or above that figure fits, and you can move part of a larger account first.
What the first call covers
An account executive will ask about your current account, your timeline and how much you plan to move. From there the account executive explains the three steps Advantage Gold follows, which are opening the IRA with an application you e-sign, sending a statement so the custodian can move your funds, and choosing the coins or bars that Advantage Gold then buys, packs, insures and ships to the depository.
The company says the application takes about 30 minutes or less with an account executive. The call is free and one-on-one, so you can take it at your own pace and ask for a follow-up email with anything you want to read again. The what to expect page walks through the call in more detail.
What the account costs
The costs are worth having in hand before the call, because they let you spend the time on choices instead of arithmetic. A gold IRA at Advantage Gold costs $50 to open and $100 a year for administration. Storage costs $100 a year commingled or $175 a year segregated, and a wire costs $30, while the price of the metal is quoted when you order with the markup inside it, which is the figure to ask for in writing before the account funds.
Held for ten years with commingled storage, those fees come to $2,050 in total. The fees page takes each line in turn.
12 questions to ask on the call
These questions cover the choices you make on a first call. Write the answers down as you go, and ask for any you want in writing by email.
Custodian and storage
- Which custodian do you suggest for my account, STRATA Trust Company or Equity Trust Company, and why?
- Which depository would hold my metal, Brink's Global Services USA (Los Angeles or Salt Lake City) or Delaware Depository (Wilmington, DE)?
- Should I choose commingled storage at $100 a year or segregated storage at $175?
Products and pricing
- Which coins and bars are IRA eligible, and which do you suggest for a first purchase?
- What is the price of each product against today’s spot price?
- How would you split my balance between gold and silver, or add platinum or palladium?
Rollover and timeline
- What do you need from my current plan to start the transfer?
- How soon after I send my statement will the account fund?
- Does the First Time Gold Investor Advantage program on your product pages apply to my account?
Buyback and after the purchase
- How does a sale back to Advantage Gold work when I want cash inside the IRA?
- How do required minimum distributions work with metal in the account?
- Who is my point of contact once the account is funded?
Advantage Gold names the First Time Gold Investor Advantage program on its IRA-eligible product pages, so question nine is the one that tells you what it includes for your balance. The company’s FAQ describes its buyback in one line, “We’ll never turn away a customer,” and the buyback page explains how a sale works inside an IRA.
Reading the answers
The storage and product answers decide most of what you pay over time, so add them to the fixed charges above and run the total through our fee calculator. A second quote from another dealer on the same coins gives you a direct comparison, and the calculator lines up every dealer we cover at your balance.
If you are moving a workplace plan, our gold IRA rollover guide explains the transfer rules you will hear about on the call. The rollover process page covers the steps at Advantage Gold in order, and the legitimacy page sets out the company’s BBB and BCA record.
After the call
Write down the answers while the call is fresh and set them next to any other quote you have. Nothing about a rollover has to be decided in one sitting, and nothing opens until you sign the custodial application. When you are ready, the account executive completes the application with you and you e-sign it online.
Who it fits, and who should look elsewhere
A call to Advantage Gold fits you if you plan to start with at least $5,000 and like to talk a process through with a person. The company is our top pick for first-time buyers, and the full Advantage Gold review covers its products, fees and ratings on one page.
It fits less well if you would rather type than talk, since Advantage Gold runs no live chat, or if your balance sits below the $5,000 minimum. Metals bought outside an IRA also carry a shipping and insurance charge on delivery. If any of those rules it out, compare matched companies first.
If you would rather start online, visit Advantage Gold's site and request the free guide before you call.
