Affirmative!
You have the option to fulfill your required minimum distribution (RMD) in kind. Rather than opting for physical delivery to your residence, you may arrange for the metals to be transferred to your non-IRA account at the vault.
This can be accomplished by establishing a non-qualified account with Hard Assets Alliance. When it is time to process your RMD, there is a specific form that must be completed with your IRA custodian.
For Equity Trust IRA Clients:
Please complete the "Distribution Request Form."
DISTRIBUTE METALS FROM YOUR ACCOUNT
On Page 3 of the aforementioned form, under DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS, you should indicate that you do not wish for the metals to be shipped. Instead, please provide the account number to which the metals will be transferred internally at the vault. This request may also be submitted as a Letter of Instruction from the email address on file with Equity Trust.
