Anyone using a good custodian for Palladium? My experience with Equity Trust has been...

Totally get what you mean. I had a similar "meh" experience with another big name custodian a few years back for my silver. Like you said, not bad enough to leave, but definitely not making me jump for joy. When I started looking at platinum, I put in a lot more research upfront and ended up with Augusta Precious Metals. So far, so good. Fees are transparent and their customer service actually feels personal. Might be worth checking them out for palladium, too.

Interesting. So you're saying Equity Trust is "fine" but not outstanding. When you say you're looking to diversify, are you specifically looking at palladium for its industrial demand, or is it more about just adding another precious metal to the mix?

Interesting to hear your take on Equity Trust. I actually had a pretty positive experience with them when setting up my precious metals IRA a few years back, though I only went with gold and silver, no palladium yet. Found their setup process surprisingly smooth and their reps were quite helpful in explaining the ins and outs. Maybe it depends on the specific account manager or the complexity of the assets you're holding?

Hey, I hear you on the "just fine" experience. It's tough when you're dealing with big companies and feel like a number. When I was looking for a palladium custodian (and really, any precious metals IRA), I found that comparing their storage options and fees upfront was super helpful. Some companies have partnerships with specific depositories, and those costs can vary a lot!

A good resource I used for breaking down different custodians' offerings and fees was Investopedia's guide to Gold IRA companies. They often cover palladium too, and it helped me narrow down who to even bother calling. Might be worth a look to see if any of those jump out at you!

This mirrors what I've been seeing too. The macro environment right now is making a strong case for physical metals.

I keep going back and forth between gold and silver allocations. The gold-to-silver ratio right now is making silver look attractive.

Ngl I came here expecting the usual affiliate spam but the discussions are actually decent. Way better info than what I was getting from my old advisor.
