How WealthIRA earns money
WealthIRA is an independent precious-metals publisher operating the website at wealthira.com. We are not a metals dealer, a custodian, a depository, or a licensed financial adviser. We publish educational material about self-directed gold IRAs and an editorial ranking of the companies that offer them.
Some of the companies featured on this site — including our top-rated featured partner, Newmont Capital Group — compensate us when a reader follows one of our links and goes on to open an account or otherwise becomes a customer. This is known as affiliate or referral compensation. It comes at no additional cost to you; you do not pay more for using our links than you would by visiting a company directly.
How compensation can influence what you see
Affiliate compensation may influence which companies we list, where they appear, and how prominently they are presented. Our featured partner is disclosed as the #1 placement and is marked as a sponsored, compensated relationship wherever it appears.
What compensation does not change is the substance of our research. The factual data we publish — BBB ratings, account minimums, storage and custodian partners, published fee notes — is drawn from public sources and is presented the same way for paid and unpaid companies alike.
Our ratings are editorial opinion
Every score on this site is an editorial rating: our own considered opinion, weighed on transparency, fees, storage partners, reputation, and buyback terms. Ratings are our independent editorial opinion, not user reviews. We do not publish user reviews, testimonials, or fabricated quotes, and we do not represent our ratings as guarantees of any outcome.
Please verify before you invest
Fee figures shown on this site are illustrative industry ranges, clearly labelled as such, and are not any one company's quote. Always confirm a company's current credentials — BBB rating, registrations, custodian and depository partners, and exact fee schedule — directly and in writing before opening an account.
Not financial advice
This content is for general education only and is not financial, tax, legal, or investment advice. Investing in precious metals carries risk, including loss of principal. Consult a licensed professional before making decisions.
