Gold IRAs involve market risk, since gold prices can be volatile, and practical risk, because accessing the metal takes time and involves custodians and depositories. They also tend to carry higher ongoing costs than traditional IRAs, including account, storage, and insurance fees, and the gold itself does not generate income.
