Goldco Precious Metals Named #1 Gold IRA Company in the Nation by Inc 500

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 18, 2015 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Goldco Precious Metals is pleased to announce Inc. Magazine ranked Goldco as the #1 Gold IRA Provider and number three among its Top Financial Services Companies in the U.S. in its 34th annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.  Goldco ranked seventh among California companies and sixteenth nationwide out of five thousand companies in the U.S.  

Los Angeles-based Goldco Precious Metals is a leading provider of precious metals coins and bullion, including gold, silver, platinum and palladium.  What makes them unique is that while they offer such products for direct sale and home storage, their greatest growth has been as a provider of IRA rollovers into precious metals, commonly called gold IRAs.

With the economy still not convincingly recovered from the recession, many people in their forties, fifties and sixties want to protect their IRAs, 401(k)s and other retirement accounts from potentially disastrous market downturns. Increasingly, they're hedging paper investments with precious metals, particularly gold and silver, which are seen as safe havens and a proven means to protect accumulated wealth until it's needed in retirement.

Goldco Precious Metals CEO Trevor Gerszt says he's happy doing what he loves has brought such success.  "I'm very pleased with this recognition—not just of the products we provide, but the unmatched level of service we give our clients—which means they come back to us, and recommend us to their family and friends."

The Inc. 5000 represents Inc.'s comprehensive analysis of what they call "the most important segment of the economy, America's independent entrepreneurs." Companies including Yelp, Pandora, Timberland, Dell, and Domino's gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 5000.

"The story of this year's Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don't achieve that kind of success by accident."

Gerszt concurs, "Our growth as a company has been gratifying, and also vindicating. People like to nay-say precious metals, but last month we broke our own record for sales by 38%!  That means we're providing something that's really improving people's lives and futures, which is a great feeling."

The 2015 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2011 to 2014. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2011. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent--not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies--as of December 31, 2014. The minimum revenue required for 2011 is $100,000; the minimum for 2014 is $2 million.
