Why invest in gold?

For centuries, gold has been considered as a store of value and a natural currency. Gold cannot be printed and the supply of gold is in shortage in recent years, highlighting the bullion’s scarcity. The major central banks have been injecting liquidity to the market , deteriorating the value of banknotes and eventually purchasing power. On the contrary, gold is embraced with its precious value, which shines to combat inflation. In fact, gold price has been on its upward trend, up a total of 30% in the past 5 years, outrunning the 9% - 12% inflation rate over the same period5. While geopolitical risks sustained, gold stands out as one of the importanct safe-haven assets. Looking back at the past financial crises, gold, with a low correlation to other assets, saw price resilience and outperformed the stock market and major commodities. It shows that gold is a tool that can effectively diversify the risks of the investment portfolio in long-term. Amid the low rate environment and geopolitical volatility, gold shall continue to be the essential choice for long-term risk aversion and value preservation against the inflation.

Compared with the other gold products available, gold exchange traded fund (ETF) is a simpler, more transparent, liquid and cost-effective investment channel. Investing in gold ETF can avoid the inconvenience and the craftsmanship fee or insurance fee brought by holding physical gold. It can also avoid the wide bid-ask spread or counterparty risks by investing in paper gold and gold options as they are not backed by physical gold.
