Gold : a safe haven investment

For many years, gold has been recognised as a precious metal with many advantages. Similarly, if the purchase of yellow metal is still considered as a safe haven investment, it is mainly because of its stability through the various wars and economic crises.

Gold is in fact a hedging asset. It is also considered a protection against inflation : when interest rates are low, investors turn away from bonds that give them little return in favour of gold.

Thus, the very idea of acquiring gold through the purchase of bullion or coins would represent the most sustainable investment for investors to maximise their profits and to counteract the consequences that rising market prices might have. 

It also offers the potential to enhance the overall performance of all investors' investment portfolios while providing stability and security to their asset portfolios.

As a result, gold coins and bars have once again become a safe haven for the French.
