The Benefits of Precious Metals Investing
Precious metals have long been subject to investor demand for the purpose of portfolio diversification. There are various reasons why an investor may choose precious metals for this purpose. One primary reason relates to the inverse relationship that occurs at times between precious metals prices and the value of the dollar.
Diversifying with physical precious metals should not be confused with investing in precious metals ETFs. Real precious metals are physical assets that you can store in a vault or store at home. Ownership of an ETF is, by definition, owning an exchange-traded fund that generally does not always provide you with ownership of physical metal. This is in contrast to any metal you purchase from Monex, which can be delivered directly to you upon your request on full payment.
A Diversified Investment Portfolio
In addition to the reasons mentioned above, there are additional advantages to diversifying a portfolio with precious metals. Unlike owning stocks, owning physical precious metals also means that you are putting your hard earned money into an investment that you can hold. And unlike physical paper money, the value of precious metals is not determined by a government; rather it is based on various factors including investor demand, geopolitical events and industrial demand.
