Interest in gold and other precious metals as investment vehicles has surged since the turn of the millennium, with even relatively hands-off individual investors now commonly establishing positions. After an exhilarating run-up that saw the cost of the substance peak at over $1,900 per ounce in 2011, gold has returned to price levels that many experts think make it especially appealing to invest in once again.

One increasingly popular way of doing that is by making use of gold-backed individual retirement accounts. A range of providers offer IRS-approved, gold-backed investment accounts that can be used to hold retirement savings, making this a convenient and potentially productive option for many.

Figuring out just which account will work best for a given investor, though, can be difficult. The various offerings on the market cover a wide range of fee schedules, terms, storage arrangements, and other characteristics. Many investors who are interested in the possibility report finding it difficult to sort through these varied options, with some even turning away in frustration.

The just-published guide also includes a number of proven tips for those doing their own research into gold IRA providers, such as questions regarding fees, storage methods, and bullion form that have frequently proven to be especially telling.
