Birch Gold Group Review
Trusted precious metals IRA company with 20+ years of experience. Independent Birch Gold Group review: 4.7/5 for gold ira.
By Michael Hewitt, Founder & Editor-in-Chief.
Our verdict
Expect yearly storage and admin fees on top of the cost of the metals, and get Birch's current fee schedule and minimum in writing before you fund the account. Birch has 20+ years in the business, a wide range of IRS-approved metals and a free info kit with no pressure sales. Some coins carry premium pricing, so ask for the markup on each one.
Skip it if you don't want yearly storage and admin fees.
