Gold IRA Research and Data
This section holds our original reports on the Gold IRA market. Each report shows what we counted, which pages we opened, on what date, and what the numbers cannot tell you. Reports describe disclosure and facts. They do not rank companies, score them or recommend one, and they predict no prices.
This section is for readers who want evidence, not opinion. Our Gold IRA guide explains the rules. These reports look at what companies and agencies actually publish, and show the counting behind every statement.
What reports are published?
| Report | What it covers | Last verified |
|---|---|---|
| State of Gold IRA Fee Disclosure | Counts of how 16 reviewed companies disclose fees, minimums, custodians, depositories, markups and buyback terms on their own websites | October 17, 2026 |
We list a report here only after it has been checked. If we cannot build a study properly from data we collected and can show the method for, we do not publish it.
How do we do research?
Every report follows the same short rules.
- Stated scope. We say exactly what was counted and what was left out.
- Pages we opened. Company statements come from the company's own pages, such as the Augusta FAQ or a dealer's fee article like Priority Gold's. We label them as company claims, not independent facts.
- Dates. Each source carries the date we opened it. Websites change, so the date matters.
- Method and limits. Each report has a method section and a limits section. Counts describe the companies we reviewed, not the whole market.
- No rankings. We do not rank, score or name a winner, and we do not make price predictions.
- Independent check. A separate reviewer opens the cited pages and rechecks the numbers before a report goes live.
Where else can you look?
Use our calculators and tools to run your own numbers, and our regulatory and tax updates for dated changes from the IRS and other agencies. Reports in this section update on a schedule we state on each page. Our corrections policy explains how to report an error.
