Investing for retirement can be complex and uncertain, but it doesn’t have to be. The Goldco team remains committed to its mission to help individuals with simple and effective options to safeguard and grow their retirement savings. The company’s reputation, high standards along with precious metals resources position Goldco as a preferred provider.
There are two ways that the Goldco team offers the purchase of precious metals:
1. Direct Purchase: Buy gold or silver directly and Goldco will ship the metals to an individual or to a depository, where they will be securely held in the individual’s name.
2. Self-Directed IRA: Transfer a portion of an existing retirement account to a Self-Directed IRA where earnings may grow, tax-deferred.
Goldco has experienced tremendous growth since 2019, despite economic factors that plagued most companies over the last two years.
1. Sales Increase: Since Janary 2019, the company has grown its revenues by more than 189%.
2. # of Customers Increase: Since January 2019, the company has grown its customer base by more than 138%.
3. # of Positive Customer Reviews: Since January 2019, the company has received an increase of 184% of positive customer reviews.
4. # of New Employees: Since January 2019, the company has more than doubled its staff of experienced IRA specialists.
5. COVID-19 growth: When COVID-19 forced the company to move staff to remote working locations, the management team, operations staff, and support teams transitioned all staff to productive home environments. The company experienced its best year of growth and employee satisfaction in 2020.
When most companies were struggling during COVID-19, our company experienced record growth. One of our competitors began conducting unscrupulous marketing practices, taking advantage of wary investors under the stresses of COVID-19 and an uncertain political transition. As a result, the SEC investigated their practices and shut down their business operations. Other competitors have had to scale back and lay off staff due to the inability to pivot to a productive remote working environment.
Goldco’s Founder, Trevor Gerszt, leads the company by example with high ethical standards and a passion for precious metals. Since he was young, he knew the power of precious metals and has set out to democratize precious metals ownership to protect one’s life savings.
