Precious Metals
Although precious metals have not historically been the most efficient inflation hedge, investments in precious metals, such as gold and silver, often demonstrate strength during times of chaos in the financial markets.* For this reason, it may make sense to have some exposure to gold, silver, and other metals as part of an overall balanced portfolio. Nowadays, gaining exposure to precious metals is easier than ever before. Several precious metals mutual funds and exchange traded funds have surfaced, allowing investors to obtain indirect precious metals exposure through traditional brokerage accounts.
The value of precious metals is ultimately determined by available supply and demand. In some cases, precious metals have a low or negative correlation to common investments such as bonds, money market funds, and CDs. Please note that investments in precious metals involve specific risks and it is important to discuss these risks with your financial advisor before you invest.
