Why Should I Purchase Precious Metals?
PROTECTION
Few assets offer you and your family protection from political and economic uncertainty like gold and silver. Since 2001, the U.S. has fought in multiple wars, the Federal Reserve has pursued a series of loose monetary policies, and the economy has gone through a rollercoaster ride of boom-and-bust cycles – and all the while gold and silver have maintained their “safe haven” reputation. From the Napoleonic wars to the Great Depression, precious metals have held their value (often rising dramatically) in times of crisis – and they have done so because they are one of the few things people trust when all else fails. Consider what publishing executive Steve Forbes told us in an exclusive interview: “Gold maintains its intrinsic value better than anything else on Earth, and that’s for 4,000 years.”

DIVERSIFICATION
In these uncertain times you need to protect your savings, and one way to do so is by diversifying. Most people’s savings, in today’s globalized world, fluctuate with each crisis. Since gold and silver benefit from safe haven demand in times of political and economic uncertainty, they tend to be less economically sensitive, oftentimes performing well even during recessions. So precious metals are well suited to diversify your savings to stand up against inflation or market uncertainty – causes of concern for many today. For this reason, a number of analysts suggest that a portion of gold and silver could be used as a hedge against a downturn in financial markets, inflation or other economic and political uncertainties.

HEDGE
Gold’s reputation as the ultimate hedge against inflation is widely known. So, after years of loose monetary policy from the Federal Reserve, it is not surprising that it continues to shine! Consider how the dollar has declined over the past several decades. In 1930, $640 could have bought you a car. Today, that might be enough for a set of wheels for that car. Inflation means that year on year, decade on decade, the dollars in your pocket are worth less. But gold has kept pace with inflation for thousands of years! For example, in the time of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon who died in 562 B.C., an ounce of gold bought 350 loaves of bread. 2,500 years later, an ounce of gold today could still buy roughly 350 ordinary sliced loaves – perhaps even a little more.
HEDGE
That’s ancient history – what about more recent history? Since 1971, when the price of gold was decoupled from the U.S. dollar, gold has a solid track record of outpacing inflation. In years when inflation was between 2%-5%, gold’s price increased 8% per year on average – during times of extreme inflation, gold’s price historically rose even faster. Note these are real, after-inflation returns.

Over the long term, therefore, gold has not just preserved capital but also helped it grow.
LIQUIDITY
Gold and silver are more liquid than you may think. Some banks now include gold jewelry and bullion in their list of liquid assets, which means that they may lend by keeping gold as collateral. Computerized trading networks allow some gold and silver coins to be bought instantly around the world, often without prior inspection. If the coins are in pristine condition and certified by industry experts, there is always a market for them. We have such faith in our precious metals that if you do decide to sell, we would like the first right of refusal to buy them back from you.

INCREASING DEMAND
The demand for gold is everywhere – even from governments themselves. Central banks worldwide bought 1,136 tons of gold in 2022 (the highest level of buying on record). Subsequently, central bank gold demand nearly matched that record again in 2023 and in 2024. China’s central bank has recently increased its purchases of gold by a substantial amount – to hedge against the billions of U.S. dollar-based assets it holds but no longer trusts. In fact, gold demand set records in both Q3 2024 and Q3 2025, hitting 1,313 metric tons.
Because most spending on gold is discretionary, its market structure is far more diverse than for most commodities. For example, about 50% of total demand for gold comes from the investment sector, with jewelry accounting for another 46%. Industrial applications, such as technological, medical and dental uses account for the rest of demand. Some large institutions have also moved into gold: Several years ago, the University of Texas Investment Management Co., the second-largest U.S. academic endowment, took delivery of almost $1 billion in gold!

DECREASING SUPPLY
As the demand for gold and silver increases, supply is under a great deal of pressure. New gold discoveries are scarce these days, with just six since 2020 (27 million ounces total). That’s a drop in the bucket compared to the 350 deposits discovered from 1990-2023, totaling 2.9 billion ounces.
Global silver production has been stagnant since 2015, while demand from the manufacturing sector has risen 55% from 2015-2024. Should demand continue to outstrip supply, world markets will be forced to come to terms with a new reality. Essentially, both gold and silver are assets that are increasing in demand while decreasing in supply… it’s simple math.

Why is personal ownership of physical gold important?
In the U.S., gold can be used as payment for goods and services. In 2011, no states allowed gold as legal tender. In the years since, some states passed laws to allow (and even eliminate taxes) on gold and silver currency. This trend is gaining momentum.
