Investing in precious metals offers an attractive alternative to traditional savings and investment options, especially in times of economic uncertainty. By buying precious metals, investors can not only protect themselves against major shocks in the financial system, but also benefit from the stable value these metals traditionally provide.
Inflation
Buying gold offers protection against inflation. When the value of currency declines due to rising prices, gold generally holds its value better than traditional savings and investment options. By purchasing gold, investors can hedge against the loss of purchasing power of fiat money.
Diversification
Investing in physical precious metals is an effective way to diversify and spread risk. By buying gold, you add stability to your investment portfolio, as gold is less sensitive to stock market volatility and geopolitical tensions especially in uncertain times.
Crisis protection
In times of economic uncertainty or crisis, buying gold is often seen as a safe haven. Gold has consistently maintained its value in the past, even when the financial system was under pressure. Holding physical gold provides investors with the security of a stable asset, which is crucial during financial crises and market turmoil.
Over the past 20 years, the gold price has performed strongly, delivering solid returns - particularly during periods of economic uncertainty. Compared to the S&P 500, Bitcoin and oil, gold has proven to be a stable store of value, while other assets have shown varying returns and levels of volatility depending on market conditions.

Investing in physical gold offers stability, security and protection in uncertain times. Historically, gold has maintained its value regardless of fluctuations in financial markets. It serves as a reliable hedge against inflation and currency volatility, and represents a tangible, liquid and globally recognized form of wealth. This makes physical gold a solid addition to a well-balanced investment portfolio.
Buying gold can be a wise choice, especially in times of economic uncertainty or inflation. Historically, gold has retained its value well and offers protection against declining currency purchasing power. In addition, physical gold is a tangible asset that you can keep outside the financial system...
At GoldRepublic, you can buy whole gold bars or become a co-owner of a bar. If you become a co-owner, you pay NO bar reservation fees and you may be allocated anew bar every day. Legally, this makes no difference. You are still the(co-)owner of physical gold. The gold is delivered to you. You still know which bar you own (based on the bar number). Only in the event that, due to extreme circumstances, GoldRepublic is no longer able to provide its services, will you have to agree with the co-owners on what to do with the bar (sell or melt it down). If you reserve your own bar, this is not the case.
Yes, investment gold is exempt from VAT in the United Kingdom and throughout the European Union. This exemption applies to gold bars with a purity of at least99.5% (24 carats). All gold bars you purchase through GoldRepublic must meet these conditions and are therefore exempt from VAT.
In the Netherlands, you must declare physical gold that you own as assets in box 3 of your tax return. The reference date used for this is 1 January of the tax year for which you are filing your return. This means you declare the value of your gold on 1 January, based on the gold price on that day. However, always check with your tax adviser to see what applies to your personal situation.
