Why invest in precious metal
Four reasons clients hold bullion
Physical gold and silver sit outside the banking system and carry no counterparty risk once delivered.
Preserving wealth
Gold has held purchasing power across currencies and regimes for centuries.
Inflation protection
When money supply grows faster than output, hard assets tend to reprice. Physical metal has no issuer who can print more.
Diversification
Gold's correlation with equities and bonds is low and often negative in stress periods.
Liquidity
Recognised bars and coins can be sold in any major market, on the same day, at a visible price.
