Why Silver IRAs?

While gold gets much of the spotlight, Silver IRAs offer a powerful and affordable way to diversify your retirement portfolio with tangible assets. Silver is not only a precious metal — it’s an essential industrial commodity, used in everything from electronics and solar technology to medical applications.

With increasing global demand and limited supply, silver has strong growth potential, making it a smart addition to your retirement planning.

Key Benefits:

  • Affordable Entry Point Compared to Gold
  • Strong Industrial Demand = Growth Opportunity
  • Portfolio Diversification & Risk Reduction
  • Physical Asset Backed by Real Value
  • Tax Advantages with a Self-Directed IRA

How Does a Silver IRA Work?

A Silver IRA is a type of Self-Directed IRA that allows you to hold IRS-approved physical silver — including bullion bars and coins — as part of your retirement portfolio.
Open a Self-Directed IRA with the help of Orchard Gold Group and an IRS-approved custodian.
Transfer or roll over funds from an existing retirement account, such as a 401(k) or Traditional IRA.
Select your silver investments, choosing from a range of IRA-eligible coins and bars.
Your silver is securely stored in an IRS-approved depository on your behalf.
Watch your retirement portfolio grow with the long-term value and demand of silver.
