Alison Macdonald

Alison Macdonald is a co-founder and Commercial Director of Bullion Directory, one of the precious-metals sector’s longest-running online directories.

She entered the precious-metals industry in 2010 after a long career in marketing and copywriting, and has since focused on building digital platforms, sales and consumer resources, and partnerships within the gold and precious-metals markets.

Alongside her commercial work, Alison writes Bullion Directory’s long-running "Ask Ally" column, covering the questions, misconceptions and practical issues that matter to everyday precious-metals buyers.

She is the co-author of The No-BS Guide to Gold IRAs, written to help readers understand how Gold IRAs really work, where the costs and risks lie, and how to make better-informed decisions before moving retirement money into precious metals.
