Welcome to the Golden IRA

With financial uncertainty circling the globe, due to war, natural disasters, an over-valued stock market, the cost of oil and the bubbles in both real-estate and the vastly under-funded pensions in corporate America (YOUR retirement), many are once more turning to precious metals as a hedge against the uncertainty of the future. Many listeners to and supporters of Republic Broadcasting Network (RBN) have elected to purchase precious metals through our affiliate, Republic Trading Group, in order to guard against that uncertainty - but have left their retirement accounts exposed to a falling dollar - all while gold, silver and platinum have seen gains of nearly 200% since 2000.

We are pleased that you are considering a Self-Directed Individual Retirement Account (IRA) at American Church Trust Company (ACT). As your IRA custodian, we are only concerned with making the investments you direct, protecting your assets while they are in the IRA, and performing all the duties of an IRA custodian. We do not offer or sell any investments, nor are we affiliated with any precious metals dealer. We do not give tax or legal advice. We do not benefit financially from your investment choices. Our modest administration and transction fees are our only sources of income from IRAs.

Your dealer referred you to this page to get information and forms you need to open an IRA at ACT. Once the account is established and funded, you may direct us to purchase and hold precious metals in your IRA. Always contact your dealer with questions about your precious metals, and contact ACT with questions about your IRA.

If you are already familiar with IRAs, you may click on the link below to download a PDF of our Precious Metals Investor Kit, which includes all the forms you need to open a Traditional IRA and direct investment in precious metals. We strongly encourage you to read all the materials carefully to ensure that you understand the investment you are considering. If you already have an ACT Precious Metals IRA, links to PDFs of specific forms are also provided below. If you need forms to open a Roth IRA or a SIMPLE IRA, please contact us.
