Why include physical gold in your investment portfolio today

-


Even during the ancient times, physical gold has been a symbol of wealth and power. In fact, it was a recurring image of royalty in the histories of the world, from being the favored metal used to make ornaments and precious objects for the rulers of Egypt, to being the valued trading currency among many European, American, and Asian merchants.

With physical gold’s successful run as a high-valued asset in the ancient economy, you should be wondering if the same story is still true today: Is gold still as precious as it was before? Should you include physical gold in your investment portfolio? Indeed, these are important questions that every wise investor who has never considered physical gold before should be asking.

The truth is, physical gold has long been acknowledged as a valuable asset. In fact, it is still considered as the universal “money” in many countries because of its unique benefits not only to the economy but to its investors.



Gold has also long been proven to protect investors against inflation. Considered a ‘safe haven,’ it has the ability to protect one’s purchasing power. Aside from that, gold can be the top choice as a financial asset for risk mitigation, hedging, and as financial insurance.

Recent economic crisis has also tested the flexibility of physical gold and its ability to stand firm amidst uncertainties. This is the reason why gold is the ultimate go-to asset in times of severe crisis and many investors and central banks are well aware of this. The global market will always encounter unpredictable and uncertain financial conditions but physical gold has never failed to do its part in preserving wealth.
