A gold IRA is a self-directed IRA that is invested in gold, silver, or other precious metals outside of Wall Street mutual funds. Investing your retirement in a gold IRA, rather than a gold or precious metals fund, diversifies your portfolio beyond standard investment models, and allows you to take physical possession of some forms of gold.
