US Customers Can Now Hold Gold & Silver in their Individual Retirement Account

10 March 2008 - GoldMoney today announced that there is now a new and tax efficient way for US customers to hold their gold and silver.

The Entrust Group, which is one of the leading providers of account administration services for self-directed retirement plans, has worked with a well established self-directed custodial account provider, International Bank & Trust Company, to create a precious metals facility for Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs"). One of the ways that this new IRA facility can be used is to hold gold and silver with GoldMoney.

James Turk, founder of GoldMoney explained: "We know that our customers like the ease with which they can purchase and hold gold and silver at low cost, which we then store for them in secure, allocated storage. Now our customers in the US can take advantage of these features in their IRA."

Hubert Bromma, CEO of The Entrust Group said: "In our ongoing desire to provide additional investment diversification opportunities for our IRA and 401(k), this new system of buying and holding gold and other metals provides our customers with another alternative for diversification which up until now has not been available".

To open a self-directed IRA or to learn more about this process, please contact an IRA specialist at 1-800-380-9190. You may also email any questions or inquires to EAIglobal@theentrustgroup.com.
