There are many good reasons to own gold. Equiti Gold makes it simple to buy and sell gold online, gift it or have it delivered home.

Here’s a few popular reasons for participating in the gold market:

Protects against rising prices: Gold keeps its value over time, even when currencies and stocks lose value. So, when even money becomes less valuable, gold stays valuable, keeping your buying power steady.

Reduces portfolio risk: Having gold in your portfolio lowers the chance of losing money all at once because its value doesn't rise and fall the way assets like stocks or bonds do. This can make it safer for your overall trading plan and increase the likelihood your portfolio will stay profitable.

Retains its value: Gold is a rare commodity and as a result it will never be devalued. It is highly liquid (or always in demand), which means it stays valuable even when things get uncertain in the economy. This consistent demand means you can count on gold buyers being active in the market.

Turns into cash quickly: Gold is simple to sell whenever you need money due to always being in demand. You can sell it in various forms like bars, coins, or through electronic selling. This makes it flexible and convenient to turn into cash quickly. Gold is used for many things. People use it for jewellery, technology, and in some countries it is kept in banks. It holds its value through the variety of its use.

Remember, before you buy gold or anything else, think about what you want to do with your money, how much risk you're comfortable with and what's happening in the world. Gold can be a financial refuge, but always do your research and talk to experts before making any big money moves.
