Holding a diversified portfolio is the best option for any investor, and holding 10-20% of your savings in gold bars or precious metals is considered a good way to diversify a portfolio beyond the stock market. People lose faith in the value of their fiat currency, and turn instead to gold bars and coins. When economic conditions turn bad, or a country hits a recession, the gold price goes up. When the economy is doing well, gold tends to be undervalued. The gold price does not correlate to the stock market or the economy. However, gold cannot be printed, and this means that its value cannot be manipulated by governments the same way.Īnother important consideration for new gold investors is that gold bars can act as a hedge against a recession or poor economic conditions. Governments print money, which leads to inflation, which reduces the value of the money. By contrast, it is unlikely that €500 today will have the same purchasing power in 100 years. A British Sovereign coin, which consists of 7.3 grams of gold, could purchase a very nice suit 150 years ago, and it still can today. What this means is that the purchasing power of gold remains consistent. One of the most important things to consider for investors new to buying gold bars, is that gold retains its value. The metal has facilitated trade and acted as a store of value to many empires, including the Roman Empire, the Egyptian Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the British Empire. It is coveted by governments, banks and investors. Gold has acted as a currency for thousands of years. Gold bars may be purchsed in 15 currencies and using cryptocurrencies.
