Account Minimum
Gold IRA Glossary
The smallest amount a Gold IRA company will accept to open an account or place an order. Minimums vary widely from one dealer to another, and a high minimum can rule out a company regardless of its other terms. Custodians may also set their own minimum balance requirements separate from the dealer's purchase minimum.
