I’ve got an old 401(k) from a previous job just sitting there doing nothing, and I’ve been thinking about rolling it over into an IRA where I have more control. Not just for gold specifically, but maybe a self-directed setup where I can also invest in other alternative assets.
The problem is: there are a million options and I don’t know who actually offers the best IRA accounts for rollover. I’m mostly looking for low fees, good customer service, and flexibility. Some of these “best of” lists feel like paid placements and not real advice.
If you’ve done a rollover lately, which provider did you choose and why? Any horror stories or things you wish you knew before you started? I’d rather take my time and do it right than rush into something that ends up being hard to manage or full of hidden fees.
