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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
