Diversification for Stability
A well-diversified investment portfolio is key to mitigating risk, and gold and silver offer an excellent means of achieving this balance. Unlike traditional assets like stocks and bonds, precious metals often move independently of other investments, adding an extra layer of stability to your portfolio.
​
Our focus on wealth preservation therefore makes the ownership of precious metals an essential component of an informed portfolio. Although pleased when precious metals rise in price, our primary argument for gold and silver is, and always will be, as an insurance asset against evolving currency risk rather than just price appreciation.
Inflation Hedge
As central banks around the world engage in monetary policies that may lead to inflation, gold and silver serve as effective hedges against the eroding effects of rising prices. Their finite supply and intrinsic value make them attractive options for investors seeking to preserve their purchasing power over the long term.
​
Western governments are digging themselves further into debt and countries are waging wars on cash.
These and various other factors have made the future of fiat currencies around the globe less certain.
So, people have turned to gold and silver. Increasingly we are seeing central banks increasing their gold reserves. China, Turkey, Kazakhstan and others, continue to buy up the metals in greater quantity, boosting their value. With the dollar weak and the US economy sluggish, this trend is likely to continue.
​
Their value is determined by the free market. The price of gold and silver isn’t controlled by the Federal Reserve or central banks. The free market has all the power.
Precious metals, like gold or silver, tend to perform well during market slowdowns. But since the demand for these kinds of commodities often increases during recessions, their prices usually go up too.
​
Gold and Silver should be an important part of a diversified investment portfolio because their price increases in response to events that cause the value of paper investments, such as stocks and bonds, to decline. Although the price of gold and silver can be volatile in the short term, it always has maintained its value over the long term.
