In the current economic climate, marked by growing uncertainty, more and more investors are turning to precious metals, and gold in particular, as an asset for securing their savings. Indeed, the rise in popularity of gold and silver coins and bullion testifies to investors' confidence in their capital as a safe-haven asset.
 
 
However, investing in gold goes beyond the initial purchase, it is essential to understand how to store these assets securely to ensure maximum protection of your investment. With this in mind, let's explore the different custody strategies and storage solutions available on the market.

STORE YOUR GOLD

Gold conservation strategies : the best approaches

The growing popularity of gold and silver as a store of value is intrinsically linked to their stability in a sometimes tumultuous economic climate. Before delving into the details of storage strategies, it is important to understand why these precious metals have become so popular in recent years. 
 
Moreover, the perception of these precious metals as a stable asset in the face of market fluctuations and their historic role in preserving wealth have made them even more attractive. The potential erosion in the value of fiat currencies and concerns about inflation have heightened interest in these metals, positioning them as assets of choice for portfolio diversification and protection against economic risks.
 
Investors are turning to these precious metals because of their safe-haven status, offering durability in a sometimes uncertain economic climate, and they want to guarantee the security of their acquisitions.
 
To this end, there are a number of storage solutions that enable private individuals and professionals to preserve their assets :

In a bank

One of the most traditional strategies for storing gold is to place it in a bank vault. This approach offers a high level of security, with the protection of bank facilities. However, it is important to note that this can involve costs, and access to your investment may be limited to bank opening hours.

 
External storage with shared security

 
For those looking for an alternative to bank storage, the use of shared security services may be an interesting option. At Godot & Fils, for example, we offer a "GardienOr" storage solution that meets the specific needs of our customers. This offers the flexibility of accessing your gold while benefiting from increased security.

Private guarding

Another option is to opt for private guarding, offered by specialist companies. These companies provide secure vaults in a variety of sizes and locations, offering investors a reliable and customised storage solution.
In this respect, our partner Coffre Fort Privé offers its customers safes, outside the banking system, in different sizes at the best prices to suit each of your needs.

Why store precious metals in a safe place ?
 

As well as protecting against theft and sequestration, secure storage guarantees protection against accidental loss and the risks associated with incidents such as fires, floods and natural disasters.
 
Opting for secure storage solutions protects your investment from risk while facilitating access to your assets, allowing them to be used or sold as required. As a result, secure storage will allow investors to diversify their investments, reducing reliance on traditional financial instruments and mitigating the risks associated with market volatility. By guaranteeing the security and traceability of stored precious metals, this ensures that future transactions, whether for resale or other financial transactions, will run smoothly.
