Pricing

The precious metal prices of Regal Assets include all charges including delivery charges. The current prices of the individual gold bullion products are not listed online since many Regal Assets customers invest in retirement portfolios and not individual products. These portfolios are managed for the investors by Regal Assets account executives and are specifically tailored to meet the financial needs of each investor.

When investing in a retirement account, Regal Assets will cover all fees for the initial setup, administration, storage and delivery of metals for the first year (a savings of over $700). From the second year on, the gold dealer Regal Assets charges a flat fee of $250 per year (administration: $100 and segregated storage with Brinks: $150) for each retirement account, irrespective of the account's total value.

Ordering

Orders can be placed by calling a Regal Assets account executive. They are available to assist investors from 7:00 AM until 6:00 PM, Pacific Standard Time, Monday through Friday. Regal Assets account executives are experts in the financial market of precious metal investments and will assist investors with information, guidance and advice. The minimum investment for cash deals is $5,000 whereas the minimum investment for precious metal retirement accounts is $10,000.

Regal Assets can open a new IRA account within 24 business hours of receiving a signed application form.

Payment

Investors fund their retirement portfolios via bank wire. Precious metal purchases of specific products outside of these managed portfolios can be paid for by personal check, cashier’s check, money order or bank wire.

Shipping

Regal Assets currently only ships within the United States. Precious metals that are purchased outside of retirement portfolios will be shipped in discreet packages via United Parcel Service, Federal Express or registered U.S.P.S mail and typically arrive at the customer's home within 7 business days. All shipments are fully insured and a signature is required to take over physical possession. Larger institutional purchases are delivered via Brinks and are accompanied by an armored guard.

Precious metal purchases that are made as part of retirement portfolios will be held in segregated secure storage managed by Brinks. Investors can choose the individual Brinks facility where they want their precious metals to be stored. The precious metals are fully owned by the investor who can choose to take physical possession of them at any time. The US government regards precious metals as cash. Therefore, investors have to pay applicable US taxes when taking physical possession of their precious metals. Investors would incur additional penalties when cashing out before the age of 59 ½.
