How Augusta Precious Metals Has Evolved

Augusta Precious Metals, a legitimate and highly respected company within the precious metals industry, was founded by their CEO, Isaac Nuriani in 2012.

Since its inception, Augusta has been laser-focused on helping retirement investors protect their savings using physical gold and silver IRAs.

Over the years, the company has become known for its deep specialized knowledge and exceptional customer service.

Part of Augusta’s story is that the company noticed American consumers are

“not always given all the information they deserve to know about the nation’s economy, nor are they made aware of all the investment alternatives available“.

They considered that financial advisors rarely include gold and silver in investment choices, because they do not always sell them, or benefit from such sales.

That prompted the company to develop a robust educational offering.

This includes a blog, video blog, series of educational videos and most importantly, the free one-on-one web conference where consumers can speak directly to the experts at Augusta, including Devlyn Steele who designed the program.

I have found the level of education provided by APM to be exceptional, and even with over 20 years expertise in the precious metals field I continue to learn from their regular insightful videos and news analysis.

Since its founding Augusta Precious Metals has helped thousands of consumers understand precious metals and open gold and silver IRAs.

Augusta Today

• Augusta in is based in Casper, Wyoming, with a satellite office in Beverly Hills, CA.

• They are known for clear to consumer education, transparency, competitive prices and compliance – and their strong commitment to customers “over the lifetime of your account”.

• Augusta Precious Metals has refrained from watering down its expertise and specialty in gold IRAs – it doesn’t do anything else (other than straightforward cash accounts for physical gold and silver).

• This means the company’s precious metals IRA knowledge and background is as robust as any in the industry, as is the infrastructure it provides to support Augusta gold IRA customers.

Management Structure

Augusta Precious Metals’ two primary executives are their Founder, Isaac Nuriani and their Director of Education, Devlyn Steele.

Isaac Nuriani – Founder and CEO

Isaac Nuriani

Augusta Precious Metals Founder and CEO Isaac Nuriani launched the company with the aim of

“helping retirement savers diversify their investments firstly through education and then by taking advantage of physical precious metals“.

He spent many years prior to that assisting American seniors with their finances.

Subsequently Mr Nuriani took it upon himself to empower the everyday public with

“knowledge about economic policies that were geared towards helping banks and corporations more so than private individuals saving for their retirements“.

He started Augusta to not only educate individuals about all this but also to offer better alternatives and solutions to them.

He did so with the determination to offer quality service and a strict commitment to transparency and ethics.

He followed through by becoming members of both ICTA (Industry Council for Tangible Assets) and Ethics.net.

He is firmly committed to helping Americans diversify and protect their retirement savings with gold and silver IRAs.

I have shared several personal conversations with Isaac Nuriani, and on each occasion his passion for helping others to protect their futures was very apparent to me.

Mr Nuriani graduated from the Los Angeles University of California with an honors degree in economics.

To this day still guides and mentors industry professionals on retirement stability for Americans.

Devlyn Steele – Director of Education

At Augusta Precious Metals Devlyn Steele heads up an educational team which is

“dedicated to acquainting financially conservative Americans about the benefits of alternative assets for diversifying their investments and savings“.

 

Mr Steele is well known for predicting both the financial crisis of 2008 and the surging gold and silver prices that followed it.

His economic and financial services career spans three decades, during which time he has been responsible for processing financial assets valued in excess of $2 billion.

He is Augusta’s on-staff Harvard trained economist who conducts their free and unique 1-on-1 gold and silver web conferences which he personally designed.

This educational service ensures that investors are well-informed about the intricacies of precious metals investing, allowing them to make confident decisions based on their unique circumstances and financial goals.

This video, in which Devlyn Steele explains why gold can thrive in any market condition, is an example of the information and analysis provided by him and the Augusta Education Team

Complaints

When checking complaints at Better Business Bureau (BBB) and Business Consumer Alliance (BCA) I was surprised and impressed to discover that Augusta has never had a complaint logged at these highly respected independent review sites.

Customer Feedback

Positive Feedback

There are many (literally thousands) of examples of positive Augusta Precious Metals feedback online. I discovered that customers seem to be particularly impressed with:

• Augusta’s track record of exceptional customer service, in part due to helpful informational materials, especially the one-on-one web conference and account lifetime support

• Augusta’s fast and easy account opening process, with seamless and well-practised assistance through five different departments

• the account and pricing transparency and compliance at this company, for which it has been awarded and recognized

Negative Feedback

This is mainly in the form of comments about prices and questions about how Augusta made their profit.

I also found a couple of examples of customers saying that they were overall happy with the service they had been given but they considered the delivery time for their metals was longer than they had anticipated.

On each occasion an Augusta Precious Metals representative had replied with an explanation that the customers concerned subsequently commented was to their satisfaction.

Regarding the questions regarding prices and profit, the bid-ask spread, which is the gap between the bid (from buyers) and the ask (from sellers) prices of a security or asset, was explained.

Regarding the delivery times, Augusta explained that on each occasion the delay had been caused by a rare unforeseen circumstance which had been unavoidable.

Ratio of Positive to Negative Feedback

Overall the ratio of positive to negative feedback that I came across was extremely high, around 98%.

Compared to all the gold IRA companies that I have evaluated over many years, this was exceptional. I suspect this is quite likely because of their commitment to compliance and to regular independent audits.

What are Gold and Silver IRAs?

• Gold and Silver IRAs (often referred to collectively as a Gold IRA) are Self Directed IRA accounts which make it possible for you to legitimately (in compliance with the IRS) diversify your retirement assets by including physical gold and silver in the same way that you would include, say, stocks or bonds in a traditional IRA.

• You can transfer or rollover an existing retirement account into a gold or silver IRA without the need to change your existing annual contribution arrangements.

Why Consider a Gold or Silver IRA?

• Due to their inverse relationship with traditional investment vehicles such as stocks and shares, gold and silver are commonly considered to be hedges against market downturns and rising inflation. Including these precious metals as part of a diversified retirement portfolio can offer stability.

• Gold and silver prices have historically grown over time, albeit with short term fluctuations based on a variety of economic factors. Therefore, some investors consider these precious metals to be suitable long-term holdings within a diversified retirement portfolio.

• A gold or silver IRA allows you to invest in precious metals by reallocating existing funds within your retirement accounts, rather than requiring additional out-of-pocket contributions. This approach can enable you to diversify your retirement portfolio without affecting your current cash flow.

• A gold or silver IRA allows you to invest in these precious metals within a tax-advantaged retirement account. They follow IRS rules similar to other IRAs, including contribution limits and tax treatment based on the type (Traditional, Roth, or SEP). These accounts offer tax benefits such as tax-deferred growth or tax-free withdrawals, depending on the IRA type. Augusta Precious Metals professionals are knowledgeable about these rules and can assist you in understanding how to properly structure and manage a gold or silver IRA to take advantage of its tax benefits.

• The education department reveals economic information most financial advisors won’t share, with articles, videos and other materials.

Step 2

• In many customers’ opinion the crowning jewel of the company’s educational offerings – the free, one-on-one web conference designed by the company’s director of education, Devlyn Steele.

Step 3

• Each customer is assigned a personal customer success agent who guides you through all the steps of opening an account, funding it and choosing metals for your precious metals portfolio.

Step 5

• They carefully selected gold and silver custodians following a comprehensive vetting process and have since worked with them for many years.

• You can access your custodian at any time if you choose or you can opt, as most customers do, to let Augusta liaise with them on your behalf.

• Robust compliance department with a neutral third-party administrator and adjudicator. 

• Compliance team also includes outside counsel and a dedicated professional writer/editor. 

• APM voluntarily opens itself to regular independent compliance audits.

• All of this has led to various awards, including being acknowledged for ‘Most Transparent Pricing’ by Investopedia.

• On its website, Augusta says, ‘When we can, we go further than the law to fulfil its spirit of protection‘.

ZERO Complaints 

• Zero complaints EVER – even complaints that have been closed or resolved – with the BBB and BCA. 

FREE GOLD

• When you open an Augusta Precious Metals Gold IRA, as a special welcome gift you can choose from 3 Gold Coins.

Highest Buyback Guarantee

• Option to reclaim your investment whenever you desire, with the utmost confidence and peace of mind.

7-Day Money Back Guarantee

• Should Augusta’s services not align with your needs or meet your expectations within the first week, they will promptly refund your investment, no questions asked.

Fees Waived

• My extensive research led me to conclude that Augusta is the only company that pays up to 10 years of fees for qualified customers.

Extensive Education

• Robust series of blogs, video blogs, educational videos, online articles.

• Unique free, one-on-one gold and silver web conference with Devlyn Steel, Director of Education and Harvard trained economist.

Account Lifetime Support 

• Ongoing service through the entire lifetime of your account.

Gold IRA Specialists

• Augusta Precious Metals has refrained from watering down its expertise and specialty in gold IRAs.

• it doesn’t do anything else (other than straightforward cash accounts for physical gold and silver).

Fees

Set Up Fees: $50 + $30 wire fee

Admin fees (annually): $80

Storage fees (annually): $150 for segregated / $100 for non-segregated

Fee type: flat

Augusta will cover up to 10 years of custodian and storage fees on qualifying purchases.

Some gold IRA companies charge scaled fees and others charge flat fees. There is an important difference between the two types:

• Scaled fees are computed as a percentage of your fund’s value and therefore increase in line with the growth of your fund.

• Flat fees remain constant regardless of your retirement fund’s value. Flat fees are nearly always favourable as they work out to be less over time.

Pros and Cons

One negative point for me is Augusta Precious Metals’ high entry point of $50,000 for a gold IRA. I consider that to be a shame because it means that some would-be customers are unable to take advantage of the excellent investment opportunity that they offer.

Their good points substantially outweigh the bad ones, however.
