You can buy gold using a number of different methods. Which one you choose will depend on your circumstances and your preferences. Here are some of the most common ways to buy gold:

  1. Physical gold: gold can be bought in the form of coins or bars. You purchase these from a precious metals dealer, a bank or an online retailer. Before you make your purchase you should do some research to make sure the seller is reputable.
  2. Gold ETFs: An ETF is an Exchange-Traded Fund and it allows you to invest in gold without owning any physical gold. You buy shares in an ETF in the same way as buying equities; they are traded on stock exchanges.
  3. Gold mining stocks: Investing in companies that mine for gold is a way to take advantage of gold price movements but it is more risky than buying physical gold or a gold ETF. However, gold mining stocks can potentially offer higher returns.
  4. Gold futures: Futures allow you to take out a contract for the future delivery of an asset – in this case gold – at a determined price. This is riskier than other ways to trade gold because of the volatility of the gold price.

Whichever of these methods you choose to buy gold, you need to understand the risks associated with investing in gold. Do your research and make sure that gold is the right investment for you.
