Gold has become a popular commodity for investment. This investment instrument has a number of advantages that are very suitable for novice investors.

Gold can be used as a hedge against inflation and is liquid, aka easy to cash. On the other hand, the price tends to increase in the long run.

Gold investment is also easy to find, even online and affordable because it can be started with minimal capital.

IndoGold Co-Founder & CMO Indra Sjuriah provides a series of tips for beginner investors who want to invest in gold.

"Everyone who wants to use investment products, including gold investment, must know well the company and the products offered so that they do not suffer losses," said Indra in his statement, Sunday (11/4/2021).

Here are 3 tips shared by Indra to stay safe in investing in gold:

1. Pay attention to legality aspects and understand the oversight regulator

Investing in gold must be in a financial institution that has received permission from the Financial Services Authority (OJK). Even though it offers greater benefits than others, if there is no permission from the OJK, there is potential for fraud.

"You can check the name of the institution on the official website of the OJK. If it is not on the legal investment list, do not invest in that institution," said Indra.

2. Not tempted by returns that are not fair

Currently, there are various fraudulent schemes under the guise of investing in gold that are confusing and offer high returns, for example by using pyramid schemes to deceive potential investors.

Therefore, before investing in gold, you must collect information about the type of gold and the price of gold, so that you can calculate a reasonable return on gold investment.

3. Study carefully the terms and conditions of gold investment

Reading carefully the terms and conditions of investing in gold is very important. This is necessary to find out more about the rights, obligations, benefits and risks contained in the gold investment being offered.
