Why should you buy Gold ?

Already this year gold has outperformed many other commodities – the precious metal has surged generally by 29% since the start of the year. Gold is now outperforming many other commodities.

The WGC has said that central banks are adding more bonds to their balance sheets – this mean they are limiting the amount available to investors.

Should investors put all their money into gold? The answer is no.

We can’t stress enough that investing in gold should be part of an investment portfolio, making up no more than 10-15% of a portfolio.

Brexit

We have seen some investors wanting a quick return on investment by buying gold and selling it back quickly, particularly after Brexit.

Although gold prices have increased – and they are expected to rise again – we would advise against this strategy. Gold prices can fluctuate but that said historically over time the precious metal has traditionally performed well.

Gold should be thought of for the medium to long-term and more like an insurance policy.

We do expect to see more demand for  gold  especially from new investors. It is worth noting that Gold Investments has made it easier to buy gold online in particular, whatever the budget.
