Hi, Money readers!
Mike at Money here.
When an asset has a strong run, pullbacks are often part of the process.
After reaching record highs earlier this year, gold recently slipped into its first bear market since 2022. Many analysts, however, say the broader economic factors that drove the gold rush — including inflation concerns, geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility — remain in place.
That's why some individuals continue to view gold as a way to protect their retirement savings against market volatility.
For people who already have a traditional IRA or 401(k), one option is rolling over a portion of those funds into a self-directed gold IRA. These accounts allow savers to hold physical precious metals as part of their retirement portfolio.
Our partner Goldco specializes in helping people complete gold IRA rollovers and transfers from eligible retirement accounts.
If you're interested in learning more about gold IRA rollovers and whether precious metals may fit into your retirement strategy, Goldco offers educational resources to help you explore your options.
