A Practical Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver
By Franklin Metals Group
Understanding the Value of Precious Metals
For generations, gold and silver have been trusted as stores of wealth. In uncertain economic times, they stand out as tangible assets that hold intrinsic value regardless of currency shifts or market volatility. In 2025, with inflation concerns still lingering and global markets adjusting to policy changes, more investors are turning to precious metals as part of their portfolio strategy.
Why Gold Remains a Foundation
Gold is widely regarded as a safe‑haven asset. When currencies lose purchasing power or geopolitical tensions rise, gold tends to maintain or grow its value.
Holding physical gold in coins, bars, or even allocated accounts gives investors a sense of security that paper assets can’t always match.
Silver’s Unique Advantages
Silver is often called “gold’s little brother,” but its role is much broader.
It not only acts as a store of value but also has extensive industrial uses—from solar panels to electronics. This dual demand often makes silver more affordable to acquire than gold, with greater potential percentage swings during bullish runs.
Building a Smart Precious Metals Portfolio
Investing in gold and silver doesn’t require a massive upfront commitment. Many start with small allocations—such as a mix of silver coins and fractional gold bars—and gradually build over time. Diversifying between the two metals can balance the safety of gold with the growth potential of silver.
For those who want liquidity, consider products that are easy to resell or trade. Coins and smaller denomination bars are often preferred because they can be sold in increments rather than all at once.
