A platinum IRA offers a way to diversify your retirement savings with eligible physical platinum alongside traditional retirement assets.

A platinum IRA is a self-directed individual retirement account that can hold eligible physical platinum. Unlike IRAs invested in stocks, bonds, or funds, a precious metals IRA allows qualifying bullion to form part of your retirement strategy.
Traditional and Roth IRAs follow different tax rules. Traditional IRA earnings generally grow tax-deferred, while Roth IRAs may provide tax-free qualified distributions.
Eligible platinum bullion generally must meet a minimum fineness of .9995, subject to applicable IRS requirements and exceptions. Because these accounts hold physical precious metals, an appropriate trustee or custodian is required to hold the platinum in accordance with IRS rules.
A platinum IRA gives you exposure to physical platinum as part of a broader retirement strategy. Platinum has both precious metal and industrial applications, although its price can fluctuate.
Platinum adds exposure to a physical asset beyond traditional stocks and bonds. Its price may respond differently to market conditions, but it can also experience significant volatility.
Depending on the account type, a platinum IRA may offer tax-deferred growth through a traditional IRA or tax-free qualified distributions through a Roth IRA. Applicable rules and distribution requirements still apply.
Learning how to open a platinum IRA involves several steps, from choosing a custodian to arranging the storage of eligible platinum.
Metals Edge can help you understand the process and available options while the qualified custodian handles the administration of your IRA.
Your platinum is held in accordance with applicable IRS custody requirements and stored through an appropriate depository arrangement.

A platinum IRA rollover lets you move eligible retirement savings into a self-directed platinum IRA holding qualifying platinum.
Eligible source accounts may include a 401(k), 403(b), TSP, or traditional IRA, depending on the account and applicable requirements.
A direct rollover sends eligible retirement funds directly to the receiving account without paying them to you. If an eligible distribution is paid to you instead, you generally have 60 days to complete the rollover.
When completed correctly, an eligible rollover can generally avoid immediate taxation. Metals Edge helps coordinate the paperwork and guides you through the process. Consult a qualified tax professional about your circumstances.
