Should You Invest in Gold? (The Pros and Cons), with Adrian Ash

What part should gold play in your investment portfolio? My guest today is Adrian Ash, director of research at BullionVault, the world’s largest online marketplace for gold, silver, platinum and palladium. Looking after £3 billion of precious metal for more than 100,000 customers, BullionVault offers private investors access to the whole bullion market with online trading, instant settlement, and low-cost storage in secure vaults. Winner in April 2022 of a third Queen’s Award for Enterprise, BullionVault has been a full member since 2008 of professional trade body the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and was chosen in 2017 as online vaulted bullion partner of the mining-industry backed World Platinum Investment Council. During our conversation today, we talk about the factors influencing the price of gold, why silver is called The Devil’s Metal, and what Russia’s invasion of Ukraine means for the palladium market. Here’s my conversation with Adrian Ash, director of research at BullionVault, in episode 578 of Informed Choice Radio.
