Hard Assets Alliance is not an IRA custodian. We are the precious metals broker for buying, selling and delivering your assets. For tax reasons, so-called “qualified” retirement funds – those put into an IRA, 401(k) or similar plan with tax advantages – must be kept in a separate account with your IRA custodian. For trading or delivery of your metals, contact Hard Assets Alliance.
