<\/span><\/h3>\nThere are several types of gold investments available, including physical gold, gold ETFs and futures, gold mining stocks, as well as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds that focus on gold.<\/p>\n
Physical gold includes bars, coins, and jewelry made from the metal which you can purchase from dealers or brokers. The advantages of purchasing physical gold is that it can be tangible to hold and store in a safe place in your home. However, physical gold does not provide any yield or passive income.<\/p>\n
Gold ETFs, like the SPDR Gold Shares or iShares Physical Gold ETF, provide investors with an easy way to invest in gold without having to physically store and manage it themselves. Gold ETFs are backed by physical bullion held in vaults and are priced relative to the spot price of the metal. Additionally, these ETFs also offer potential tax advantages in long-term investments.<\/p>\n
Futures contracts allow traders to buy or sell a certain amount of gold at a predetermined price and date in the future. They are actively traded around the world with leverage to magnify the returns of their trades.<\/p>\n
Gold mining stocks can be bought through publicly traded companies such as Barrick Gold Corporation or Newmont Mining Corporation which rely on minerals mined from the earth to create profits. Compared to buying physical gold, this method will have greater risk as these companies are affected by stock market fluctuations beyond their control but could also produce higher returns if managed properly.<\/p>\n
Lastly, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and mutual funds offer additional ways for investors to invest in gold either actively or passively depending on what type of fund you invest in. Many ETFs and mutual funds provide clients with exposure to gold miners or precious metals streaming companies with varying degrees of risk tolerance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
