Gold has retained its intrinsic value for thousands of years — and has a historical tendency to outperform riskier asset classes during times of economic and political uncertainty.
Amid the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in 2022, for instance, investors were drawn to gold — an asset that’s often perceived as a less volatile option when stock market activity is rocky — according to U.S. News & World Report, which noted that after Russia’s late-February invasion, spot gold prices reached more than $2,000 an ounce in March, their highest level at that point in more than a year.
A number of portfolio holders — including several who have shared U.S. Money Reserve reviews about working with the company — have incorporated gold into their retirement planning strategy as a diversification method that may potentially help offset losses from other assets.
In one U.S. Money Reserve review posted on the Better Business Bureau website, Edward S. praises the customer service he received from the company when transitioning from a 401(k) that he says had been losing money to a gold-based approach.
“[Gold] is making me [a larger] return on my investment,” Edward says. “Everyone I have [been] talking to has answered all my questions…I feel safe and secure.”
Another U.S. Money Reserve customer who has added gold to his portfolio, James from Bountiful, Utah, found the assistance provided by Dwayne, the Account Executive he spoke with during the process, to be helpful.
“He found out my knowledge of gold, silver, etc. and what my goals were,” James says in a review posted on Google. “I needed to get [out] of one IRA. Within one day, I had my IRA transferred and backed by gold. What a relief.”
