About
About Ardent Gold
Ardent Gold helps individuals hold physical precious metals inside their retirement accounts, with a process built on independence, transparency, and care for the people we serve.
What we do
What we do
Ardent Gold coordinates the purchase of IRS-eligible precious metals for self-directed retirement accounts and arranges for those metals to be held at an insured, IRS-approved depository. At no point does Ardent Gold take possession of client funds or metals. Funds move between regulated custodians, and metals are allocated and held directly at the depository, where they are titled to the client's IRA.
Our founder
Founded by Aaron Jensen
Ardent Gold was founded by Aaron Jensen, who also operates Ridgewell Insurance, an independent life insurance agency. His work centers on retirement and financial protection, helping individuals make clear, well-informed decisions about their long-term financial security. Ardent Gold extends that work to precious metals, giving people a straightforward and transparent way to hold physical gold within a self-directed retirement account.
Our values
What we value
Independence
Your metals are held by an independent, insured depository and titled to your IRA in your name. Ardent Gold never takes possession of your funds or metals, by design.
Guidance without pressure
Our role is to inform and walk you through every step, never to push. Whether or not precious metals are right for you, our goal is that you leave every conversation better informed.
Clarity at every step
You always know where your funds and metals are. Each stage is documented, so there is never a question about what is held or where.
Long-term focus
We treat retirement as the long-term commitment it is, helping you build a more balanced and resilient financial position rather than chasing short-term moves.
People first
The people we serve come before any transaction. We measure success by how prepared and confident our clients feel about their financial future.
Our mission
Helping Americans retire with confidence
Our mission is to help 100,000 Americans feel more prepared and more secure about their retirement. We believe that starts with clear information, honest guidance, and a transparent process people can trust. Every account we help open is a step toward that goal.
