At all times, people wanted to make money and get maximum profit. Not everyone can do business or buy a lot of apartments to rent out later. But most can still do something to survive hard times or an economic crisis. And precious metals can help with this. For centuries, they have proven to be the best investment, because they always have a high price, which only increases over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investment in gold<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Most people are afraid of being left without income and resources. In uncertain times, when money loses value, and real estate can be destroyed due to military operations, gold will be the resource that will help to stay afloat. This is a limited resource that is still being mined, but it is not unlimited. Therefore, the price of this precious metal is constantly growing.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Investment<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In recent years, the cost of gold has increased. Therefore, those who bought it 5-10 years ago receive significant "net" profits. At the moment, you can buy 1 gram of gold for 3,570 hryvnias. If you make simple calculations, you can understand that the cost of a 100-gram bar is slowly moving towards the cost of 400 thousand hryvnias. If you imagine that the price of this precious metal was lower a few years ago, then the profits of investors are really large.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, investing in gold is very profitable. After all, its price will continue to grow. Of course, you need to analyze the market. Then you can more accurately understand what profit will be received. In addition, given the security situation, transporting gold is easier than, for example, investing money in real estate, a business, or even an expensive car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is investment gold?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To put it in the most accessible language, gold for investment is the precious metal that is purchased to save money or earn money. We are talking about the purchase of bars, investment coins. It is also called \u201cbank gold\u201d. These are stamped gold bars that weigh from 1 gram to 1 kilogram or more. Small bars \u2013 1-5 grams are very often purchased as a gift. If the weight of gold is greater, then it is very often used as gold for investment.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"What<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

There are also investment coins that are produced and sold by the NBU. But there is not much demand for them in Ukraine. Such coins are valuable not only because they are made of precious metal. They are often valued for their uniqueness, features, and the date of the event to which they are dedicated. It also happens that investment coins cost more than gold bars, if you calculate their value in grams. In order to make a good profit on coins, you need to have good knowledge in numismatics, and sometimes even connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also quite profitable to place \u201cgold\u201d deposits. This is also called uncertificated gold. If the bank has such a service, then you can open a special deposit account in it, into which an amount equal to the value of the selected gold bar is deposited. The bank does not transfer the bar to the client. But the person-owner receives interest on the deposit account. They are not too high - up to 3% per annum. In this way, you can earn on the dynamics of gold prices and interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you decide to buy jewelry in order to earn money in the future, then it is not as profitable as it may seem. The profit will not be so great. After all, approximately 40% of the price is the work of the master. If you want to sell the product, then its cost will not be so great compared to the one at which you bought it. But rare and collectible products can bring a truly significant income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        You can legally buy precious metals in banking institutions and jewelry stores. Banks are allowed to buy products only from recognized international manufacturers that are members of a special LBMA group. Gold bars can be sold to banking institutions in the future, and jewelry is accepted by pawnshops and (official) buyouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
          \"Which<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

          In most cases, bars are purchased up to 1 kilogram. But you can also order large ones, weighing more than 1 kilogram, but they are made in special factories. A 999 gold bar means that there is 99.9% pure metal in it. They are sold through banks and jewelry stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Currently, ingots are imported to Ukraine from abroad. They are made in Germany and Switzerland. In Ukraine, mainly Swiss ones are sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How to invest in bullion correctly:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Buy only those that have packaging. And keep the bar in its original packaging. It can be different. If it is not there, then there may be a situation in which your gold will refuse to accept the bank and you will have to sell it at the price of scrap gold. And this is no longer an investment, but a loss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Any bar must have a quality certificate that makes it easy to trace the history of the gold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Store gold in a dry place and handle it with care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Is it worth buying bank gold?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • It is always in price and does not lose its properties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • It can be easily exchanged in all countries of the world.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • When the value of money goes down, the price of gold goes up. It's a great investment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              But before investing, you need to remember that prices can change very quickly. Therefore, you need to calculate the risks. The political and economic situation in the country also affects the price of gold in different ways. Do not forget about the taxation that exists in some countries. Therefore, if you buy metal outside of Ukraine, familiarize yourself with the rules for storing bullion in that country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
