Is Gold a Reliable Long-Term Investment?

At Sprott Money, we are here to simplify the gold-buying process. We make it easy to order high-quality gold coins and bars online and offer secure storage options to protect your investment. Find out how easy it is to buy gold today.
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.
What Is Gold Bullion?
Gold bullion is gold coins, rounds, and bars that have an investment grade purity of 99.5% and above. It is a physical asset that you can hold or store in a vault. Gold bullion is produced by private and sovereign mints, and priced based on the live spot price of gold, plus a small premium.
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 sovereign and private mints and can be used as a form of currency in the country where they were issued depending on the coin. They come in a variety of weights and sizes, and their value rises with the gold spot price.
Gold Rounds
Gold rounds are similar to gold coins, except that they are usually 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 investors looking to pay a less premium on gold coins.
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 is the price of gold determined?
The price of gold is determined by several key factors:
1. Global Market Price
The spot price refers to the current market price of Gold per ounce as traded in global markets, such as the COMEX (Commodity Exchange). The global supply and demand have a significant impact on the pricing.
2. Economic Indicators
Factors such as inflation, the unemployment rate, and interest rates influence gold prices. Economic uncertainty boosts the price of gold.
3. Geopolitics
Precious metals prices tend to increase in the event of a global crisis or a war; investors flee towards the safe-haven metal.
4. Central Bank
The price of gold is heavily influenced by the central bank’s buying and selling behaviour. Investors often make decisions based on this factor.
