There are three popular and well-established ways to invest in gold as an asset.
1. Can I trade gold using CFDs?
The most user-friendly and cheapest way is via investing in gold as a contract for difference, a CFD.
A gold CFD is like trading stock on an exchange, except the instrument tracks the price of the underlying asset (in this case gold) but does not represent ownership of any of the precious metal.
Gold is one of the most popular assets within the class of precious metals, which includes palladium, silver and nickel.
On the eToro platform, you can open a short position as well as a long position via this instrument. Once the order is completed, you can monitor the status of your trade-in the ‘Portfolio’ section.
Trading and holding positions in gold can be achieved in a variety of ways.
Each process works in a slightly different way and, as a result, the fees associated with each are also different. This is something to consider and establishing which approach is most cost-effective for your strategy is possible using the information outlined in the T&Cs.
2. What are gold ETFs?
A second approach would be by owning an SPDR Gold, and iShares Gold Trust also benefit from real-time pricing so you can easily keep on top of the value of your holding.
Where is the third way?
Just hold on, remember the above information and we will be back tomorrow.
