Everything You Need to Know About Buying Gold
While gold is an excellent long-term investment, you might have questions about where to begin. Discover all the answers to your questions here so you can buy with confidence.
Why Buy Gold?
Buying gold is a great way to diversify your portfolio because it tends to hold its value long-term. Diversification is essential to protecting your portfolio in times when the stock market is in turmoil. It is also typically less volatile than other assets such as stocks, but still provides great liquidity so you can sell it quickly if you need to.
Is Now a Good Time to Invest in Gold?
Historically, gold prices have risen steadily, regardless of market activity. That is why it might be a good idea to buy gold soon before prices rise, so you get the most gold for your investment. However, while all investments carry some risk, buying gold is generally a solid investment, no matter when you purchase it.
What Is Gold Bullion?
Gold bullion refers to the purity of the gold you are buying. Because gold is a soft, natural metal, it may contain some impurities. The higher the purity of the gold, the more valuable it is. Gold bullion is 99.5% pure gold or higher and is considered investment grade.
What Are the Different Types of Gold?
There are several different ways to buy gold, and there are advantages to each type. Learn more about gold coins, rounds and bars.
Gold Coins
Gold coins are created by government-owned mints and could be used as a form of currency in the country where they were issued. They come in a variety of weights and sizes, and their value rises in relation to the value of gold itself.
Gold Rounds
Gold rounds are similar to gold coins, except that they are created by private mints and cannot be used as currency. They may feature decorative designs and can be sold in a wide range of sizes starting at 1/10 of an ounce. They are a great choice for collectors looking for a relatively low-risk investment.
Gold Bars
Much like the name implies, these are solid bars of gold. Popular with high-net-worth investors, they come in all weights and sizes and feature a serial number for identification and security purposes. They are ideal for people who simply want to invest in this precious metal.
How Much Does Gold Cost?
The price of gold fluctuates daily, but so far, in 2021, the average closing cost has been just under $1,800 per ounce, according to MacroTrends. This is up from an average closing cost of $1,773.73 in 2020 and $1,393.34 in 2019. Gold coins and rounds tend to cost a bit more due to production costs.
