Precious Metals Risk Disclosure
American Gold Group Services, LLC
The following disclosure is intended to provide general information regarding certain risks associated with purchasing, holding, or liquidating precious metals. Individuals considering transactions involving precious metals should carefully review these risks and conduct their own independent evaluation before proceeding.
Precious metals markets are influenced by a wide variety of economic, political, and market factors. As a result, the value of gold, silver, and other metals may fluctuate significantly over time and may be affected by changes in interest rates, inflation expectations, currency values, global economic conditions, government policies, and market demand. Because of these factors, the value of precious metals may decline after purchase, and customers may receive less than the original purchase price when selling or liquidating their metals.
No Guarantee of Performance
Ownership of precious metals does not guarantee profit or protection against loss. Future market performance cannot be predicted with certainty, and past performance does not guarantee future results. American Gold Group Services, LLC does not guarantee future price movements, market conditions, investment outcomes, or profitability associated with precious metals transactions.
Precious Metals Are Not Income-Producing Assets
Unlike certain financial instruments, precious metals generally do not generate interest, dividends, or other forms of income. The potential return associated with precious metals ownership is primarily dependent upon changes in market value and future market demand.
Market Liquidity Considerations
Although gold and silver are widely traded, certain precious metals products may have more limited resale markets depending on the type of product, market demand, and prevailing conditions at the time of sale. The ability to sell or liquidate may depend on product eligibility, condition, market demand, and logistical considerations, and resale prices may differ from the original purchase price.
Dealer Pricing and Product Premiums
Precious metals products may be offered at prices that differ from the underlying market or “spot” price of the metal. Product pricing may include premiums, spreads, manufacturing costs, distribution costs, logistics expenses, and other factors. As a result, the price paid for certain products may exceed the underlying market value of the metal contained in the product.
Government Regulation and Policy Risk
Government policies and regulations affecting precious metals ownership, taxation, reporting requirements, and retirement account regulations may change over time. Future changes to laws or regulations could affect the ownership, storage, reporting requirements, or taxation of precious metals. American Gold Group Services, LLC cannot predict future regulatory developments or governmental policies that may impact precious metals markets.
Retirement Account Considerations
Transactions involving precious metals within retirement accounts may involve additional rules, custodial requirements, and regulatory considerations. Precious metals held within a Precious Metals IRA must be stored with an IRS-approved custodian or depository and cannot be stored at home or held in the account owner’s personal possession while held in the IRA.
Personal possession of IRA metals may be treated as a taxable distribution and may disqualify the account. Customers should consult their retirement account custodian and independent tax or financial professionals regarding the rules governing retirement account transactions.
No Investment, Tax, or Legal Advice
American Gold Group Services, LLC is a precious metals dealer and does not act as a financial advisor, investment advisor, broker-dealer, tax professional, or legal advisor. Information provided by the Company is for general informational purposes only and should not be considered investment, tax, or legal advice. Customers are encouraged to consult qualified professionals before making decisions regarding precious metals ownership or retirement account transactions.
Customer Responsibility
Individuals purchasing or selling precious metals are responsible for evaluating their own financial objectives, risk tolerance, liquidity needs, and investment goals before proceeding. By engaging in a transaction, customers acknowledge that precious metals markets involve risk and that the value of metals may increase or decrease over time.
