“Many people find gold to be a good investment because it can act as a diversifier in a typical portfolio. It can act as a hedge during periods of high inflation and as a safe haven during market volatility. But it also does not earn income and can be subject to fluctuations in value.”
USAGOLD note: A helpful overview for the beginner…… One thing to keep in mind is that safe haven investors usually opt to purchase coins and bullion delivered to their safekeeping. ETF are preferred by funds and institutions because they tend to purchase and sell large amounts of the metal and do not want the logistical problems that accompany large purchases. Also, most gold market experts consider ETFs paper, as opposed to physical, gold. You might want to review this page if you are trying to decide between the two options.
