Gold IRA vs Roth IRA
Why Gold IRA and Roth IRA describe different dimensions of an account and can overlap.
“Gold IRA” describes the asset/custody strategy; “Roth IRA” describes a tax structure. A self-directed Roth IRA may be able to hold qualifying precious metals if the custodian supports them.
The important questions are therefore account tax treatment, eligibility, contribution or conversion rules, asset eligibility and custody—not simply which label sounds better.
