Gold is one of the most precious materials in the world and was the basis for how we originally determined the value of goods and services. For many years people bought it by relying on exchange traded funds (ETFs) but a lot of investors have moved away from these in recent years. One of the main reasons for the move is that a number of ETFs trade using an index rather than the physical material itself. In some cases the traders don’t own the actual gold and you can even find yourself investing in future production rather than existing assets. The risks have led more and more people to purchasing physical bullion instead.

Gold bullion comes in either bars or coins, and when you buy gold you’ll have a physical asset with a value you can easily determine. This offers more security but does include some additional costs because you’ll need to account for delivery and safe storage. If you’re looking at a large number of coins or heavy bars the cost will be even higher; you’ll have to consider these to see if the option is worth it. Luckily, we can provide you with storage solutions to keep your investment safe and secure.

Bullion has become more readily available in recent years with sellers based all around the world specialising in trading it. The availability makes it a more attractive opportunity but there are many things to keep in mind before you jump in with both feet. It’s important to buy from a reputable company, such as ours, and the type of gold you buy is also important. We provide fast delivery and a secure, professional service, giving you peace of mind when you buy gold from us.

If you’re looking to buy gold bars you should remember that they are not intended to be traded quickly for fast profits; instead they are more like an insurance policy or store of value for the future. The majority of buyers will hold on to them for a number of years before choosing to liquidate them.
