Diversify your portfolio with safe haven investments
To maintain a well-diversified portfolio, the rule of thumb is to allocate about 5% of your investments to precious metals.
Why Gold?
Why Gold?
  • Safe haven instrument
    Gold is a trusted asset when market volatility is high.
  • Good hedge against inflation
    Gold prices have historically risen in tandem with inflation.
  • Gold returns tend to climb during periods of low yield
    Yields will eventually rise when the US Federal Reserve decides to raise interest rates. Investors can cushion the potential downside impact by buying USD.
Why Silver?
Why Silver?
  • Capital appreciation potential
    Silver has important industrial applications and its price will rise with the demand for solar energy and electric vehicles.
  • Cheaper alternative to gold
    Silver is more accessible to beginners who have lesser capital. Like gold, it is also a safe haven instrument, a good hedge against inflation and a beneficiary of a low yield environment.
