Summary: |
||
Gold and silver provide a powerful blend of potential wealth preservation, inflation mitigation and portfolio diversification. During times of geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility, investors have turned to gold and silver as safe-haven assets. Unlike stocks or bonds, gold and silver are tangible, resilient to corporate failures and sovereign defaults, and may offer security and liquidity in uncertain economic climates.

Relative to other sectors, precious metals and natural resources investments have higher headline risk and are more sensitive to changes in economic data, political or regulatory events, and underlying commodity price fluctuations. Risks related to extraction, storage and liquidity should also be considered.
Gold and precious metals are referred to with terms of art like store of value, safe haven and safe asset. These terms should not be construed to guarantee any form of investment safety. While “safe” assets like gold, Treasuries, money market funds and cash generally do not carry a high risk of loss relative to other asset classes, any asset may lose value, which may involve the complete loss of invested principal.
Past performance is no guarantee of future results. You cannot invest directly in an index.

While third-party sources are believed to be reliable, Sprott makes no guarantee as to their accuracy or timeliness.
