Why people hold gold.
A long-term perspective
Gold has historically held up through periods of economic uncertainty, currency weakness and market stress.
Something real to own
Physical metal, fully allocated to you, rather than a claim on someone else’s balance sheet.
A value you can follow
Track the global metal market behind your holdings, using the same prices shown in these charts.
Gold prices can fall as well as rise. Holding physical metal does not guarantee a return.
