Reputation
One year after its
inception, Regal Assets received a much deserved A+ rating from the Better
Business Bureau. Also, its overall reputation is squeaky clean with a 4.9
rating on BirdEye and a 4.6-star rating on TrustLink with an overwhelming
percentage of positive reviews. Moreover, the user comments on their social
media platforms such as Facebook are also very encouraging for someone who
wants to start collaborating with this company.
Flexibility
We have already
mentioned how Regal Assets is one of the leaders in this industry. Now it’s
time to talk about what it actually offers. The company offers the so-called
Regal IRAs which are self-directed accounts that help you invest in both
digital and hard assets. The latter are the precious metals that you can have
in your account while the digital ones are represented by cryptocurrencies. You
are allowed to open a completely new IRA at Regal Assets or to roll over the
funds from another account and turn them into precious metals. Its custodian
for the IRAs is the company called Brinks. In order to be able to open a Regal
IRA, you need to deposit at least $10,000.
Interestingly, you can
combine hard assets with digital ones in one single IRA or you can pick one or
the other. In fact, the company even offers some pre-made investment packages
which are meant to help investors of all levels. These packages come in
different digital and hard assets combinations:
·
Merchant
package (costs $5,000);
·
Knighthood
package (costs $10,000);
·
Legacy
portfolio (costs $25,000);
·
Kingship
portfolio (costs $50,000);
·
Dynasty
portfolio (costs $100,000);
·
Coronation
portfolio (costs $250,000).
If you are not
interested in getting an IRA, you can also buy precious metals such as coins
and bullion bars or digital currency. The precious metals can be either shipped
to your address or you can have the company keep them in a secure storage vault.
In order to be able to purchase anything, your initial investment must be at
least $5,000. Clients can choose to purchase gold and silver bullion bars along
with gold, silver, platinum, and palladium coins. Their prices are not
displayed on the website and you will have to contact the company to find them
out.
Fees,
Promotional Offers, and Transparency
The fees that Regal
Assets charge for their IRAs and other investments are as follows. There are no
initial account setup fees but there is an annual administration fee worth $100
and an annual storage one that is worth $150. You will not have to pay anything
for non-IRA maintenance and storage, there are no rollover fees, and no buyback
on precious metals either.
As part of a
promotional offer for new clients, the company will waive both your
administration and storage fees for the first year. Moreover, Regal Assets also
offers them a completely free gold investor’s pack that is normally worth $119.
Plus, if you request it on the website you can get both the pack and a free DVD
with a Forbes issue meant for investors.
Customer
Service and Educational Resources
When it comes to
educational resources, we have already mentioned the free pack that new clients
can obtain for free. Also, the official website of Regal Assets offers a
section full of investment-related news that is always up to date as well as
some highly-informational articles. The company also counts the aforementioned
six special packages as recommendations for new investors and therefore part of
its educational resources section.
As for ways to contact
Regal Assets in case of any issue or simply if you want to purchase or obtain
information, you can do so by using the chat bubble at the right bottom side of
the website. A representative will talk to you and you can ask any questions
that you might have. You can also give them a call at 1 877 962 1133 which is a toll-free

Toronto. They all have contact numbers and addresses too.
