Advantages of saving in precious metals:

  • Automatic asset growth:
    with GoldRepublic's savings plan, you automatically save an amount in precious metals every month. This means you hardly have to worry about your assets, while they continue to grow steadily.
  • Protection against inflation and central banks:
    while central banks can put extra money into circulation, this is not possible with precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum. Precious metals are a stable investment and protect your assets against inflation.
  • Diversification of your portfolio:
    Adding physical gold or silver to your portfolio is a proven way to diversify. Precious metals often move differently from stocks and bonds and offer extra protection in times of economic uncertainty. In this way, you contribute to a crisis-proof and balanced accumulation of your assets.
  • Optimal spread of purchase moments:
    by saving precious metals on a monthly basis, you benefit from the Dollar Cost Averaging effect: you sometimes buy at a high price, sometimes at a low price, which spreads the risk of price fluctuations and means you are not dependent on 'the perfect entry moment'. This reduces the impact of volatility on your portfolio.

Why save precious metals?

Gold, silver, and platinum have been regarded as a reliable store of value for centuries. Saving precious metals is therefore an interesting alternative to or a suitable supplement for traditional savings in a savings account.

Especially with inflation in the Netherlands still high, which is expected to remain so in the coming years, this is a way to protect your assets against currency devaluation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between platinum and palladium?

Both are precious metals from the Platinum Group Metals (PGM) and are used for automotive and industrial catalysts. Platinum has a higher density, is rare and has a wider range of applications, including jewellery and medical instruments. Palladium is subject to greater price volatility due to more erratic global production.

How scarce is platinum?

Approximately 180 tonnes of platinum are mined worldwide each year, compared to over 3,500 tonnes of gold and 25,000 tonnes of silver. Platinum reserves are highly concentrated in South Africa and Russia, which creates supply risks.

How does the buy-back guarantee work for platinum?

You can easily sell your platinum back to GoldRepublic via your account at the current platinum price. The settlement is fast, transparent and without hidden costs.

Is platinum exempt from VAT?

Normally, you pay 21% VAT on the purchase of platinum. However, because your platinum is stored in Switzerland via GoldRepublic, you do not pay VAT on your platinum purchase.
