When choosing between currency and gold, the deciding factor is the investor’s starting assets, their willingness to risk those assets and their ultimate goals. Both forms of investment can involve lots of starting capital, although this is not always necessary: under our scheme you can invest in gold for as little as £100 a month.
Currency investment, meanwhile, requires high leverage and commissions. Beyond that, currency trading is much more focused on profit and risk, while gold is focused on stability. If you’re looking to provide for a future pension or you’re content to retain the wealth you already have, gold investment is a much better option for ensuring that your savings retain their value even in the face of uncertain economic times.
That said, often investors don’t choose one over the other. If you’re investing in currency and taking risk you can hedge that risk by purchasing physical gold. If your currency depreciates it’s likely that your gold would have appreciated, thereby minimizing overall risk. Physical gold can be used as a hedge against any form of riskier investment.
