Is now a good time to be investing in gold?

In this week’s Shard Capital Podcast, Ernst Knacke, our Head of Research, and Mike Hollings, Chief Investment Officer, discuss whether now is a good time to be investing in gold.

Gold’s value is currently sitting slightly under its all-time high, but with continued uncertainty with global politics, markets across the world looking as fragile as they are, and no clear solution on the horizon, Ernst and Mike question whether increasing their gold allocation to investment portfolios is a strategically smart move.

Historically, gold has been a reliable asset to invest in during times of global political and economic uncertainty, but investing in gold is not as easy as it sounds. With options such as physical gold and gold mining companies, as well as different methods on how to invest in the above options, the duo discuss the pros and cons.

Listen in on the conversation below.
