Americans seek ways to protect their wealth in a system stressing itself to the limits. Even though investors have billions of capital in Gold ETFs like GLD, many others distrust these traditional financial offerings. They want the added security of knowing the Gold exists and tied to an account in their name.

iTrustCapital clients are indeed favoring the move to physical Gold lately, placing these trades through iTrust’s interface. Those trades are executed through precious metals leader Kitco and securely stored at the Royal Canadian Mint. The assets are 100% backed with physical metals and deliverable upon request through iTrust’s service.

iTrustCapital’s user interface makes it easy to transfer assets from an existing IRA or 401K. Once on the platform, clients can buy and sell physical Gold in an IRA for just $50 over the spot price.
