Investment gold as part of your portfolio

Physical gold has long been regarded as a stable store of value, independent of the banking system. The investor holds a tangible physical metal, which is why gold is used to diversify a portfolio and protect part of one's wealth against currency depreciation.

If you would like to compare different formats, take a look at gold coins as well as gold bars, which offer a lower premium per gram in larger weights.
