Precious metals have been one of the top performing asset classes over the past six years, and investors wanting to add a precious metals component to their portfolios are often overwhelmed by the number of investment vehicles available to them today. Alternatives include precious metals futures and options contracts, government certificates, “digital gold,” exchange traded funds (ETFs), mutual funds, mining shares, as well as buying the physical bullion itself. All enable an investor to gain exposure to the precious metals markets and participate in what many investment experts foresee as a continuing multi-year secular market.
