the smartest way to buy physical gold & silver.
It Starts With YOUR GOALS - Not The Gold
At Gold IQ Group, we don’t just sell gold—we help you build smarter strategies with real physical assets. Whether you're growing a personal portfolio, protecting your retirement account, or setting up a legacy that lasts, we create custom-built metals plans tailored to your goals and timeline.
Our strategies are built to match your vision, balancing short-term tactics with lasting financial growth. Our clients don’t guess. They work with a team that understands how real assets fit into real lives—with clarity, discretion, and results.
Why Choose Gold IQ Group
-
While many companies broker or “third-party” metals purchases, we are direct to the mint and depositories for you.
Additionally, we can both sell to you and buy back your metals, which many companies don’t offer due to the “one time transaction” mindset.
-
LBMA (London Bullion Market Association) and COMEX are the world’s most respected precious metals authorities. Metals that meet their standards have: Verified purity and weight; Strict manufacturing and refining requirements; Universal acceptance and liquidity worldwide.
Sovereign mints (such as the U.S. Mint, Royal Canadian Mint, or Perth Mint) produce government-backed coins and bars that are guaranteed for weight and purity by a national government, so they are widely recognized, trusted, and easily tradable.
Not all precious metals products are created equal. Metals that do not meet LBMA, COMEX, or sovereign mint standards may:
Be harder to sell
Carry higher verification costs
Be ineligible for certain retirement accounts
Trade at lower prices due to reduced trust or recognition
In short, this guideline protects investors from unnecessary risk by ensuring their metals meet the highest global standards of quality and acceptance.
-
IRS Section 408(m) defines which precious metals are permitted inside retirement accounts.
Following these rules ensures that all metals meet IRS requirements for purity, eligibility, and proper custody, helping investors remain compliant while avoiding taxes or penalties.
-
IRS-approved custodians and depositories meet strict regulatory, security, and reporting standards.
Using approved partners helps ensure proper storage, compliance, and protection of retirement assets, while avoiding disqualification or penalties.
-
This means the company is committed to repurchasing eligible assets at current market pricing, helping provide liquidity and transparency when investors choose to sell.
Many companies refuse to do this, in part as the sell side can be more profitable. For us, the value is in the relationship, so we have developed the most client-friendly buyback policy in the industry.
-
Compliance paperwork and logistics can be burdensome and time consuming. We have streamlined the process for our clients, delivering IRA setup most of the time in less than 20 minutes.
Key Drivers for Metals Investing
PROTECTION
Investment-grade metals offer a variety of protection against government debt and chance of default, third party default (company or borrower), and include 100% insurable accounts against threats of theft (including cybertheft),
Dependable
Investment-grade metals have historically shown little to no correlation—often an inverse correlation—to the equity markets, making them an effective hedge during periods of economic contraction. They are also highly liquid assets, independent of bank deposits or traditional institutions. Major brokerages are now recommending strategic allocations to metals as part of a diversified portfolio.
PROFIT
Opportunistic purchasing and selling offers the opportunity for profitable growth of your assets. For example, Gold has performed better than the S&P 500 during specific periods of high inflation and economic crisis, such as the 1970s, the early 2000s, and most recently in 2024-2025.
Approved
Our metals, due to their grade, source and disposition, are available in retirement accounts (self-directed IRA’s), personally held, or kept at a depository vault, and are fully divisible. They offer unmatched functionality and strategic value, handled from and kept at the most trusted depositories and mints. CLICK HERE to learn more.
Strategic
With a range of tax advantages, enhanced asset protections, and non-reportable ownership structures, investment-grade metals provide strategic benefits that are both unparalleled and unavailable in other asset classes.
Invest with INTENTION.

REAL SECURITY
Discover the Power and Protection of GolD
Most retirement accounts—like IRAs or 401(k)s offered by banks, brokers, or financial advisors—only allow traditional assets like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. But those paper assets come with limitations. Limited control. Limited flexibility. Limited protection in volatile times.
At Gold IQ Group, we believe you deserve more.
A Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA) gives you the ability to break away from the norm. With a Gold IQ SDIRA, you can hold IRS-approved physical metals like gold, silver, platinum, and palladium—assets that are historically known to hedge against inflation and bring stability during market downturns. These aren’t paper promises. These are real coins and bars, stored in your name, and held by an approved custodian.
While gold is the most commonly chosen metal—thanks to its long-term value, global demand, and stability—you can diversify within your IRA by including other precious metals as well. That’s why these accounts are often simply called “Gold IRAs.”
Here’s the key difference: Traditional IRAs rely on the performance of markets you can’t control. Gold IRAs give you a way to own something real—something that doesn’t vanish with a bad quarter or economic scare.
When you open a Gold IQ Self-Directed IRA, our team helps guide your strategy from the start. We’ll walk you through the process, help you choose the best metals for your goals, and connect you with a fully compliant custodian to secure your holdings.
Whether you're rolling over funds from an existing IRA or 401(k), or starting fresh, we help you build a smarter retirement plan—based on clarity, control, and real asset protection.
