Gold - Unlocking Wealth and Stability
Why does gold serve as such a vital cornerstone of so many investment portfolios?
With global debt levels at an all-time highs, physical ownership of precious metals is more important than ever. Gold provides the only safe harbor for your wealth that has withstood the test of millennia.
In addition to fulfilling the need for reserves, gold offers unique benefits that stocks, bonds, and real estate simply cannot match.

Physical Gold is Real Money
Gold has served the role of money for thousands of years. Today, fiat currencies are the primary medium of exchange, although individuals, institutions, and governments still use gold as the ultimate store of value.
Fiat money cannot provide a safe harbor for your wealth because it is a system maintained by government debt and inflation.
Gold has vastly outperformed all major fiat currencies over time. The value of the dollar slowly erodes every year, taking a small part of your wealth with it.
Compared to fiat currencies, cryptocurrencies, or industrial metals such as copper and uranium, gold is the most liquid and trusted value storage medium. It is gold's physical properties and universal global demand which enable this distinction.
Gold is Time-Tested
Gold is the best asset to secure your savings because it represents value that people across the globe know and trust.
Gold is durable, tangible, recognizable, and tradable on every continent. From the Roman Empire in 118 AD, to frontier railroad town saloons in 1888, to Middle Eastern markets in the 21st century, gold is the most consistent and honored medium of exchange.
When you secure a portion of your net worth in gold, you join billions of people throughout ancient and modern history who believe gold is the most time-tested means of maintaining financial security.
An investment in gold completes your portfolio.
Gold Provides Financial Freedom
Gold provides the ability to conduct business outside the banking sector, privately, in a trusted fashion, virtually anywhere in the world.
It is not part of a government-controlled financial system or fiat currency, and it becomes even more exchangeable when other currencies fail.
In this way, an investment in gold truly completes your portfolio while giving you access to the stored value whenever you desire.
Gold Allows You to be Your Own Bank
Banking system withdrawal restrictions, bail-ins, and bank failures are not concerns for the gold owner. You can buy and sell at your convenience. Vaulted assets are fully segregated, insured, and stored in the most secure vaults in the world.
Legacy & Intergenerational Wealth Transfer
Passing on your wealth to the next generation could not be simpler than with physical metals.
It is the age-old method of assuring heirs have a tangible store of value that is not tied to a paper promise or any debt obligations (public or private). No one wants investments they are unable to get out of on a rainy day.
Hedging Against the Market
Gold is the secret to building an investment portfolio that not only survives—but actually benefits from—the market’s ups and downs.
If you invested $1,000 in the U.S. stock market 50 years ago, with dividend reinvestment your money would have grown to approximately $89,704.
If you followed run-of-the-mill financial advice and invested 75% in stocks and 25% in bonds, your portfolio would have less risk, but returns would be almost 20% lower. $1,000 invested 50 years ago with annual rebalancing would be worth just $68,897.
The same $1,000 invested in a portfolio of 75% stocks and 25% gold 50 years ago, rebalanced annually to the same 75/25 ratio, would be worth more than $114,360.
15%
Higher Return
Compared to stocks alone, $1,000 invested in a portfolio of 75% stocks and 25% gold 50 years ago, with annual rebalancing, would have resulted in at least a 15% higher return. Compared to the conventional 70/30 stocks-and-bonds portfolio, your total return would be more than 40% higher!
Plus
Lower Risk
The other big reason to add gold to your portfolio is its lower volatility, or fewer dramatic ups and downs. Gold is non-correlated with the stock market, so when stocks go down, gold has a tendency to appreciate.
Thus, a balanced portfolio of stocks and gold has a significantly lower risk of a large drop, as illustrated by the example of 2008. By adding some gold to your portfolio, you can cut your long-term risk significantly.
Liquidity
Gold is unmatched globally for its liquidity. It can be exchanged for every currency in the world, a point proven regularly by leading investment funds, central banks, and individuals.
Also, gold is the most stable of the precious metals, and it has performed well both in times of deflation and inflation. By owning gold in your Vaulted account, the money is yours to control.
