Buy Gold Bars

Why Buy Gold Bars Online?

When you buy gold bars online you are investing in a physical asset that can be held outside the formal banking and financial sectors. Gold is widely seen as a safe-haven for investors in times of economic turmoil, protecting wealth when more volatile assets depreciate and providing balance to a well-structured portfolio. This view is supported by most global central banks which hold and regularly add to a store of physical gold bars. Many financial advisors recommend the inclusion of physical gold in a diverse portfolio to a level of 5% to 15% of the total value as an insurance or hedge against more volatile assets.

For newer investors, buying smaller gold bars online on a regular basis is a popular way of owning physical gold and building a substantial holding of gold over time. Small gold bullion bars can be hidden away and stored at home and can be quickly and easily sold or liquidated to raise cash if the need should arise. Our range of smaller gold bars, from 1 gram to 1 oz are sourced from some of the best known mints in the world including PAMP Suisse, Metalor, Umicore and Valcambi.

Experienced investors tend to purchase larger gold bars as this is the most cost effective method of buying gold in terms of price per gram. Popular sizes are 100g, 250g, 500g and 1 kilo gold bars. An important consideration when buying larger gold bars is the amount of the investment that may need to be liquidated to satisfy an unexpected need. It would be frustrating to have to sell a 250g bar in order to raise a few hundred pounds to settle an unexpected bill.

It is also worth remembering that investment gold is VAT Free in the UK so there are no additional taxes to pay when you buy gold bars online.
