Why purchase Investment Gold?
Gold trade refers to the global buying and selling of gold, a precious metal that has been valued for centuries. It plays a significant role in financial markets and is considered a safe-haven asset, especially during economic uncertainty. Investors and traders engage with gold in multiple forms, such as physical gold (bars, coins), gold exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and gold mining stocks. Factors driving gold trade include geopolitical stability, inflation rates, currency fluctuations, and central bank policies. When traditional investments like stocks exhibit volatility, many investors turn to gold to diversify their portfolios and hedge against potential losses. Speculation also plays a role in gold trading. Traders analyse market trends, economic indicators, and other variables to predict price movements. The market is influenced by various participants, including individual investors, hedge funds, and sovereign nations, each with their strategies and objectives.
Moreover, the gold trade is regulated in many countries to prevent illegal activities, such as money laundering and financing terrorism. Adhering to these regulations ensures a level of trust and integrity within the market. As technology progresses, gold trading has adapted with the introduction of online platforms. As a new participant, the Han GmbH has entered into the online market sphere in addition to its offline business based in Cologne, Germany.
In the online shop Of Han GmbH, a broad range of minted Gold Bars from LBMA* certified refineries such as C. Hafner, Heimele & Meule or Istanbul Gold Refinery are offered.
As an Investor Han GmbH offers you tangible assets, not paper-based investments which need time and effort to liquidate and are subject to third party defaults. Gold bars are highly liquid, meaning they can be easily bought or sold in the global market. The LBMA* (London Bullion Market Association) sets standards for gold bars, which ensures that they are accepted and tradable worldwide.
Owning gold bars gives investors direct physical control over their investment. They don’t rely on a third party (like a bank or broker) to hold their asset for them. Gold ownership also offers a level of privacy and anonymity.
* LMBA (London Bullion Market Association) is a trade association that represents the global market for trading precious metals, primarily gold and silver, in the form of bullion. It plays a crucial role in the structure of the global precious metals market, which is the largest and most liquid market for these metals. The association is a key institution in the precious metals market, responsible for maintaining standards, overseeing trading, and fostering the smooth operation of the global bullion market.
