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. The price of precious metals may increase or decrease 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. The market value of gold, silver, and other metals may rise or fall over time and future market performance cannot be predicted with certainty.

 

Past performance of precious metals markets 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.

 

Because precious metals do not produce income, the value of the investment may depend entirely on future market demand and price appreciation.

 

 

 

 

Market Liquidity Considerations

 

 

Although gold and silver are widely traded commodities, certain precious metals products may have more limited resale markets depending on the type of product, market demand, and prevailing market conditions at the time of sale.

 

The ability to sell or liquidate precious metals may depend on several factors including product eligibility, condition, market demand, and logistical considerations. Resale prices may differ from the original purchase price and may reflect current market conditions at the time of the transaction.

 

 

 

 

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 associated with acquiring and delivering physical metals.

 

As a result, the price paid for certain products may exceed the underlying market value of the metal contained in the product.

 

Customers should understand that market conditions and product characteristics may affect the resale value of certain items.

 

 

 

 

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 certain retirement accounts must typically be stored with an approved custodian or depository and may not be held directly by the account owner.

 

Customers should consult with 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 intended for general informational purposes only and should not be considered investment, tax, or legal advice.

 

Customers are encouraged to consult qualified financial, tax, or legal 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 with any transaction.

 

By engaging in a transaction involving precious metals, customers acknowledge that they understand that precious metals markets involve risk and that the value of metals may increase or decrease over time.
