Physical Bullion: Bars and Coins
Physical gold carries no counterparty risk. Bars from 1 gram to 1 kilogram offer the lowest premium over spot. Sovereign coins (American Eagles, Maple Leafs, Krugerrands) add liquidity with slightly higher retail premiums.
Gold ETFs and Digital Gold
ETFs track spot prices via vaulted bullion with stock-exchange liquidity. Digital gold platforms allow fractional ownership with professional custody — choose regulated providers with 1:1 physical backing and audited vault reports.
Silver and Multi-Metal Portfolios
Many investors pair gold with silver and platinum for industrial-demand exposure. Use our investment calculator to model returns.
