If You Are Still Deciding Where to Make Your First Bullion Investment We Will Help You

Nowadays, many people have realized the returns on traditional investments such as bank schemes and property have not always provided the returns expected due to fluctuating economic markets. We have seen a rise in wise individuals investing their money into precious metals, most notably gold and silver. Before investing in either, you have to know some basic information about bullion investment. In this article at UKBullion.com, we will outline some of the guidelines which should help you to decide on your first investment. We have put together detailed information about considering your first bullion purchase; deciding between a varied selection of unique products, and finding the most suitable merchants that will match your needs.

 

So, which precious metals are the most suitable as a first investment?

There are many factors to consider before committing to any form of investment, these include risk, personal wealth and market rates. When investing in metals, we recommend gold and silver for your first investments.

In our experience, many people are often drawn to making investments in gold due to its intrinsic value and added benefits of being VAT exempt in the UK. In addition, certain gold coins are free of capital gains tax which can be appealing for investors of larger sums.

 

Compared to gold, silver typically has a far lower value meaning that storage issues can arise when looking to invest large sums of money into silver. The price of silver tends to fluctuate a lot more than gold, meaning investing in silver is usually made by investors who are more open to risk. Silver can yield high returns but also lose value rapidly. Silver bullion does however provide investors a much lower entry point into investment when compared to gold.

 

How do you choose the right place to make your investment?

Picking the right bullion dealer is always difficult. The right price, great customer service, ease of transaction, safe delivery and other options such as storage and advice from staff are some of the things we know we all look for when selecting any retailer.
