Gold IRA Companies Bulletin - a website and newsletter dedicated to precious metal investment news, reviews, and commentary - has released an updated guide to setting up a Gold IRA.
-- The guide, launched in 2014 and fully updated as of 2025, helps individuals who are interested in diversifying their portfolios by investing in precious metals but are unsure of how to start. The resource, compiled by Gold IRA Companies Bulletin founder Doug Young - a highly respected authority on precious metal investment and retirement planning - empowers readers to make smarter, informed decisions about retirement investments.

In the guide, Doug highlights that precious metals, particularly gold, have long been viewed as a 'safe-haven' investment for retirees. While gold's value can fluctuate like any other asset, its price trajectory over recent decades has moved steadily upward and is not commonly tied to events in the stock market or the economy at large. Consequently, gold is regarded as a hedge against inflation and a more reliable investment than securities, stocks, and shares.
Doug says, “Integrating gold (and silver) into your retirement fund can help diversify your portfolio and reduce the vulnerability of your savings to economic shifts. While other assets may be impacted by market volatility or economic downturns, gold has historically always shown resilience and stability during times of uncertainty.”
The guide details the three main types of Gold IRAs available to investors. Traditional Gold IRAs function similarly to their standard currency counterparts, growing tax-free until the point of withdrawal. Doug recommends this option for those likely to be in a lower tax bracket post-retirement.
Conversely, those who are likely to find themselves in a higher tax bracket once they retire are encouraged to consider a Roth Gold IRA, which is taxed at source and allows holders to lock in their current, lower tax rates.
The third option is a SEP Gold IRA which is designed to help self-employed individuals and small businesses by permitting higher contribution limits than a traditional IRA.
In the guide, Doug also offers tips on how to evaluate Gold IRA companies, including conducting thorough research via customer reviews and consumer watchdog entities like the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
The guide cautions readers to pay attention to a Gold IRA company's pricing structure and fees and to request a full breakdown of costs including premiums, insurance, and shipping costs.
The Bulletin's other recommendations include choosing a reputable custodian with a strong track record in Gold IRAs. Doug writes, “A custodian will handle all matters related to IRS rules and regulations on your behalf, making sure that all aspects of your Gold IRA remain IRS compliant. This will include handling the storage of your precious metals at an IRS-approved depository.”
