Investors come to American Gold Advisor for expert advice and financial insight, so we take our recommendations very seriously. Many steps went into deciding a 2020 winner: 

• We created a comprehensive list of all the top Gold IRA companies
• We researched, evaluated, and investigated each Gold IRA company
• We checked customer reviews for each company

Many different types of gold IRAs are available in the market, but not all are the same. In researching each company, we found many worthy competitors But Noble Gold Investments averaged the best scores across all categories.

1 – We researched their qualifications and public standing

When trusting your retirement with a Gold IRA company, it’s important to vet and research their credentials and qualifications. We researched all companies to ensure:

• Licensed to manage IRS-approved retirement accounts
• Licensed to deal in gold, bullion, and other precious metals
• Had an “A” rating with the Better Business Bureau (BBB)

If any of the companies on our list did not meet all three of these points, they were instantly eliminated.

2 – We requested guides, starter kits, and other information

All of the major Gold IRA companies offer a free guide or starter kit. We evaluated all of them to see which was the most transparent and best answered your questions. We also evaluated what options were available to you if you had follow up questions. Do they have a live person you can talk to? Do they respond to emails quickly? We removed companies that did not excel in both of these areas.

3. We heard from customers

Customer feedback is an important barometer of which company you should choose. We evaluated customer reviews across many reputable review sites like Consumer Affairs, TrustLink, BBB, and the Business Consumer Alliance. We eliminated companies who didn’t have a good ratio of positive reviews to negative reviews. We eliminated companies that only had a handful of reviews. We also eliminated companies that did not respond to or try to resolve a negative review.

4. We compared pricing

When it comes to your retirement, it’s all about the bottom line. What’s the point of a retirement account if it’s ravaged by high fees, hidden charges, or outrageous startup costs? We only kept companies with reasonable and transparent pricing that kept the money where it belongs – and that’s your portfolio!

5. Excellent customer service

Customer service cannot be overlooked when choosing a Gold IRA in 2020. You need a company that is there for you every step of the way. We evaluated companies on how they treated customers during and after the application process. We also evaluated how easy the application process was. The only companies that remained showed consistent, high level customer service to their clients.
