Flexibility
Oxford
Gold Group offers clients the possibility to open precious metals IRAs that
they will only need to fund and then pick the precious metals for. It's worth
noting that the company manages all details for you, from buying to
transporting and storing them in a safe facility, the famous Delaware
Depository. Llyod's of London insures it, which should add an extra level of
security to your investments. You can open such an account by calling the
number displayed on the company's website and talking to a representative.
If you
are not interested in opening a precious metals IRA, you can buy precious metal
products from the company. Their offer varies and includes gold, silver,
platinum, and palladium bars and coins from the USA, Austria, Canada, the UK,
and Australia. To buy any of those products, you will only need to fill out a

you with more details. There is no pricing available on the website for the
bars and coins.

of coins, if you want to buy gold, you can pick from the Gold Austrian

Fees, Promotional Offers, and Transparency
If we are
to talk a bit about fees and prices, it must be said that Oxford Gold Group
doesn't display any prices for its precious metal coins and bars. If someone
wants to purchase, they can call Oxford directly and speak to a sales
associate, or they can fill out a form and wait to be contacted by the company
with more info. If you want to open an IRA, you will have to pay a flat fee of
$300 for the first year and $180 for every year moving forward. This may sound
a bit expensive for some people, but remember that this flat fee covers
insurance, transportation, and storage.
As for
offers, the company does offer to cover any startup fees associated with
opening a precious metals IRA account and will cover up to 20 years of precious
metals IRA account fees – depending on the amount of the transfer.

to talk about the educational resources offered by Oxford Gold Group, all
possible future clients should know that they are many. Firstly, they provide a
precious metals investment guide for free to anyone who wishes to educate
themselves. As part of its online learning center, the company also offers many
dedicated articles, news, guides, a FAQ section, instructional videos, and even
a glossary of terms.
