What this decision changes
A balanced framework for weighing diversification, physical-asset exposure, costs, liquidity and retirement-account constraints.
Separate rules from marketing
Retirement-account rules come from tax law and account documents; dealer materials explain a provider's own offer. Bullion Blueprint treats those source types differently.
Questions to answer before acting
Confirm account eligibility, costs, custody, storage, transaction pricing, liquidity and distribution procedures. If tax consequences matter, consult a qualified professional.
