The spread matters most
Annual fees are visible and small. The spread between what you pay and what the metal is worth is the largest cost in most metals IRAs, and it is where the industry hides its margin. We quote it on every order.

Where your metal lives is the first question any storage or IRA page must answer. IRA and vaulted precious metals belong in a rated depository like this one — segregated, audited and insured all-risk — not in a home safe that voids both the insurance and the IRA's tax status. Capstone Metals places gold and silver in your name at accredited depositories with fully insured, segregated storage available on request, so the asset that protects your savings is itself protected to the standard the metal demands. Storage is never an afterthought here; it is part of the purchase.

Over short periods the fund is usually cheaper. Over long ones the arithmetic narrows. This original Capstone Metals chart illustrates chart comparing the cumulative cost of an annual expense ratio against a one-off premium and exit spread across holding periods. It is educational artwork, not a price forecast, performance record or recommendation.
