The six reasons to invest in gold bullion

1. First, it is important to say that the gold bar is the ultimate safe haven asset.
2. Such an investment is a safe shield against inflation, as historically gold has always maintained its value in terms of purchasing power, whether in times of prosperity or recession.
3. It should also be mentioned that gold is liquidable anywhere and can therefore be resold at any time for a direct cash consideration, unlike other financial instruments including securities and shares of the world’s largest companies or entities.
4. The gold bar is then considered a tangible asset that can be transferred, touched and resold at any time.
5. It is also an alternative way to diversify one’s investments.
6. Moreover, this type of investment is perceived as something very rewarding. Gold is considered a precious metal that over time has been recognised as magical, prestigious and elitist, all characteristics that give it an aura of positivity and stability.

The gold bar: the properties of the precious metal

The gold bar has many interesting properties. First of all, gold is the heaviest metal on earth (atomic weight 197.2) and in its primary state it is very soft and malleable. Of all metals, it is the one that lends itself best to being worked and processed into very small parts, less than a thousandth of a millimetre thick.

Pure gold (or fine gold) has a fineness of 999.9/1000 (thousandths) and is what is used to create gold bars. Otherwise, in its native state, gold is often found in the form of electro (gold and natural silver), accompanied by a silver fraction of between 8 and 10 parts in 100.
