Okay, so I’m really thinking about pulling the trigger on rolling over a good chunk of my old 401k into a Gold IRA. I’ve been building up my real estate business here in Miami for the last decade, and while I’ve got a pretty decent portfolio going (sitting at about $220k now), I’m feeling a little exposed with everything being so tied to the stock market. With the way things are looking globally, I keep hearing more and more about gold as a hedge, and honestly, it just feels like a smart play for diversifying my retirement nest egg.
My main question revolves around rebalancing. If I roll over, say, $100k into gold, what's a realistic expectation for how often one should rebalance that? I know with stocks and bonds it’s usually annually or when it hits certain percentages, but physically held gold feels different. Is this something you set and forget for a few years, or do you still check in on the allocation regularly? I'm trying to figure out if I’m getting myself into something that requires constant tinkering. I’m already busy enough with clients and open houses!
Also, for those who've done a significant rollover into a Gold IRA, did you factor in future contributions differently? I've been contributing regularly to my current plan, but if a big chunk is in gold, does that change your strategy for ongoing investments into the conventional market? Any insights from folks who've navigated this would be super helpful. Just trying to wrap my head around the practicalities beyond the initial setup.
