Yes, you can buy gold through Fidelity Investments, but there are a few important details to know:
What you can do
You can purchase physical precious metals (coins, bars) such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium via Fidelity acting as agent.
You can also invest in gold-related financial instruments like gold-funds (ETFs, mutual funds) through your brokerage account at Fidelity.
Important limitations
For physical metals: minimums apply (e.g., $2,500 initial in a non-retirement account).
Physical orders must often be placed by phone, during limited hours, and only in whole ounces or whole coins (not fractional amounts).
If you’re using an IRA, there are extra restrictions on which coins/bars are eligible.
