Invest in Gold ETFs

For centuries, Gold has played a prominent role in society as symbol of status, wealth and achievement. Today, most of the gold consumption goes into the manufacturing of jewellery. In the 20th century, it also managed to sneak into the manufacturing of electronic components, due to its favourable physical and chemical characteristics.

Gold is often considered as a ‘store of value’ asset and is used as hedge against inflation or safe-haven in periods of geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty. Many investors consider the precious metal to be a good portfolio diversifier. 

Gold ETFs have allowed investors to access the investment perks of this metal in a relatively liquid and low-cost form compared to alternatives such as physical gold bullions or gold futures. Still, the price of gold can see wild swings, meaning ETFs that track it can also be volatile.
