How Wealthy Investors Are Securing Gold — from Fractions to Fortresses

As gold prices climb, wealthy investors are boosting their allocations to the metal, seeking protection against economic and geopolitical uncertainty.

Investors can buy everything from fractions of a gold bar to large bullion stored in ultra-secure vaults—like Swiss military bunkers in the Alps.

While some prefer the convenience and lower costs of unallocated gold held by private banks, others want physical possession of their gold, even considering unusual options like burying bars at home.

Banks warn against such risks, emphasizing secure vault storage and strict privacy measures. The trend highlights gold’s enduring role as a trusted hedge in times of market volatility and geopolitical tension.
