U.S. Money Reserve Explains Why Gold May Be an Advantageous Asset During Both Economic Downturns and Expansions

With a track record that dates back thousands of years, gold possesses a unique appeal.

It’s not just a long history; it’s a global history,” says U.S. Money Reserve President Philip N. Diehl, who also served as 35th Director of the U.S. Mint. “It’s one of the few assets that has not only held value but has also been a medium of exchange that facilitates commerce.”

The precious metal can potentially serve as an anchoring, stabilizing influence in a portfolio, according to Diehl.

Gold often performs well during periods of strong economies; we saw that over much of the last 20 years,” Diehl says. “But it’s a standout asset in hard times, during recessions and periods of political instability. For that reason, gold is often used as wealth insurance to offset losses in other parts of a portfolio.”

Accumulating and Preserving Funds

Gold’s performance during both economic booms and downturns has inspired some portfolio holders — including a number of U.S. Money Reserve clients — to include gold in their savings plans.

In a review that was posted on the Better Business Bureau website, for instance, one of the company’s customers says, “I wanted to secure my finances as a retired person who will not be earning more, so I turned from the stock market to coins.”

Lawrence L. reached out to U.S. Money Reserve about transitioning to a precious metals–backed individual retirement account after seeing the company’s ad several times.

“I’m glad I did,” he says in one of the U.S. Money Reserve reviews shared on Google. “Transferring my IRA was easy, and the company continued checking to make sure I was satisfied.”

Edward S. moved from a 401(k), which he says had been losing money, to a gold-backed IRA, according to one of the U.S. Money Reserve reviews on the Better Business Bureau website.

“That is making me more return on my investment,” Edward says. “I feel safe and secure.”

Lisa F. says when she initially contacted U.S. Money Reserve, she wasn’t sure who managed her retirement account from a previous employer.

“They not only found the account but [were] able to get all of my funds transferred into my bank account,” Lisa says in one of the U.S. Money Reserve reviews on Google. “Then they helped me understand and [set] up my IRA. I feel very happy and confident with their assistance in managing my money!”

Working With U.S. Money Reserve

In the past 23 years, U.S. Money Reserve has handled more than $3 billion worth of transactions and served more than 900,000 clients, including Rich D., who says he looked at three different companies when he began considering transitioning his savings into gold.

“U.S. Money Reserve made me feel very confident about my choice,” Rich says in a U.S. Money Reserve review posted on the Better Business Bureau website. “As our country and the world [seem] to be in such turmoil, I knew I had to make a different choice with my savings. Gold, I found, is the way to protect it — and my choice was U.S. Money Reserve.”

Gregory D. also worked with U.S. Money Reserve and says he was pleased with the experience.

“My representative is a professional, and I totally agreed with his investment options after I had completed my research,” he says in a U.S. Money Reserve review shared on the Better Business Bureau site. “I am looking forward to a long and profitable association with U.S. Money Reserve. I feel very secure and satisfied with my decision and portfolio.”

After studying the information in a brochure U.S. Money Reserve sent, Al B. discussed his objectives with a representative from the company and reviewed the available selection of precious metals.

“[I] placed my order with U.S. Money Reserve and about a week later received my gold,” Al says in one of the U.S. Money Reserve reviews available to view on the Better Business Bureau website. “[It was an] easy process and very satisfactory.”

Cynthia S., a portfolio holder who also has worked with U.S. Money Reserve, says the company thoroughly explained what purchasing precious metals would involve.

“Dealing with your hard-earned money can be stressful in this economy,” Cynthia says in one of the U.S. Money Reserve reviews that the Better Business Bureau has published. “But [the Account Executive] made it easy. I know I made the right decision.”

In another U.S. Money Reserve review shared via the Better Business Bureau, Robert E. also praises the assistance U.S. Money Reserve provided.

“Having someone watch over what is going on and helping me to diversify my portfolio is priceless,” Robert says. “The help I received in…setting up my precious metals [IRA] was handled well and makes me sleep comfortably knowing I was able to lock in my life savings.”

Joseph E., another portfolio holder and U.S. Money Reserve client, refers to the company as “the real deal” in a review posted on Google.

“It’s been a rocky few years lately,” Joseph says. “But I found my financial relief with U.S. Money Reserve. They have been trustworthy and always willing to help me in my investment [efforts].”
