FAQs
Precious metals (especially gold and silver) have been used as a method of payment for thousands of years. Stores of value, precious metals are an effective hedge against inflation and always prove to be a safe haven, especially during turbulent times on the capital markets.
flexgold lets you invest in any amount of physical precious metals, without having to worry about storage.
At flexgold, you can invest in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium.
It’s entirely up to you. Gold is the classic (and best-known) precious metal. Silver, platinum, and palladium are also important industrial metals. Their prices are therefore dictated by the general economic situation. Silver is the cheapest precious metal: the price for one ounce (31.1 g) usually runs in the double digits, compared to four digits for gold, platinum, and palladium.
