Precious Metals Trading

An investment in precious metals is one of the soundest ways to secure your portfolio. Gold, silver, and platinum can be volatile, however, they are used as a hedge against inflation.

These precious commodities can be traded in various ways, meaning that a new investor in precious metals needs some guidance to understand the benefits of different investment strategies.

As an investor, there are five main ways in which you can access the precious metals market.

  • Bullion
  • Certificates
  • Futures and Options
  • Common Stocks and Mutual Funds
  • Commodity Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

Bullion

Bars, ingots, and coins are all physical products. If an investor chooses to buy bullion, they also require secure storage. An illiquid bullion investment is most suited to those investors who have a long-term investment strategy, as the storage and selling of physical bullion requires the assistance of experts, like Apex Resources Ghana, to ensure that your investment is secure.
+

Certificates

A bullion ownership certificate is just that, a certificate. An investor owns part of a physical asset, however, the certificate is not bullion. Investing in certificates can be risky without the right trusted professionals to ensure that your investment is secure.
+

Futures and Options

For investors who want to bet big on precious metals, the futures and options markets offer liquidity and leverage. These derivative products have the potential for the greatest losses and gains, making them the trading option with the highest risk.
+

Common Stocks and Mutual Funds

Shares of precious metals mines are leveraged to price movements in precious metals. An understanding of how mining stocks are valued can make investing in common stocks and mutual funds worthwhile, but it requires a thorough understanding of the specifics of the commodities market.
+

Commodity Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

EFTs are a liquid way of purchasing and selling gold, silver, or platinum. However, an investment in EFTs is not an investment in a physical bullion, so this method is better for short-term investment and those who are more interested in leveraging their commodity ownership as markets fluctuate.
