1. The short version
Some links on goldenirainsights.com are affiliate links. If you click one and later request a guide, open an account or buy precious metals, the company may pay us a referral fee. You pay nothing extra. Our relationship with Noble Gold Investments is the most significant: Noble Gold is our top-rated provider for 2026 and most "free guide" buttons on this site lead to their guide request page through our tracking link.
2. FTC compliance
In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR Part 255, "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising", we disclose that we have a financial relationship with companies featured on this site. Links that may earn us a commission are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page code and are typically labeled "Sponsored" or accompanied by a disclosure line.
3. Which companies pay us
At the time of writing we participate in affiliate or referral programs operated by or on behalf of Noble Gold Investments. We may add or remove partners over time; this page is updated when that happens. Companies we review but do not have a relationship with are listed with plain, non-tracking links or no link at all.
4. How this affects our rankings
It does not. Our rating methodology is published and is applied identically to every provider. Where a paying partner has a weakness (for example, Noble Gold's $20,000 IRA minimum is higher than Birch Gold's or American Hartford Gold's), we say so. Where a non-paying company does something better, we say that too. We have no agreement with any company that lets it preview, edit or approve our content.
5. What we do with the money
Commissions pay for research time, hosting, data subscriptions and writing. They allow us to keep the site free and free of display ads.
6. Not advice
Nothing on this site is personalized investment, tax or legal advice. Precious metals are volatile and a Gold IRA carries higher fees than a conventional IRA. Please read our terms of service and consult a licensed professional before making retirement decisions.
