Reasons to Invest
Physical Commodities
For thousands of years people have been using gold: as a symbol, as jewellery, as currency, as protection against inflation in times of crisis. Even in uncertain times gold remains stable in value. And it is not for nothing that even banks use it for hedging.
What makes physical gold so attractive and inflation-proof? The limited availability of supply, the growing demand due to a change in investment behaviour, as well as its versatile use across various industries. Unlike paper money, gold - in the form of bars or coins - will always retain a material value.
Advantages of investing in gold
- Portfolio diversification.
- Gold is a tangible asset – Physical gold is not subject to the risks that come with paper assets. It can’t be hacked or erased.
- Gold can be private and confidential.
- Inflation hedge – Its price tends to rise when the cost of living increases.
- Good store of value when local currency is losing value – Gold will protect your portfolio in times of crisis.
- Increasing demand and supply constraints – World gold supply is shrinking.
- Gold is liquid and portable – In times of need, investments in gold can be liquidated much faster than other physical assets like real estate.
- Gold is value-dense – It's easy to store and comes with low maintenance and carrying costs.
- VAT exempt.
