Gold Versus Banks
Is your money really better off in the bank?
A cornerstone of the global economy, banks have been around for centuries as a place for the population to store its wealth. However, with growing political uncertainty and financial upheaval, banks are no longer the safe haven that we’ve all come to depend upon.
Although banks are useful financial institutions for day to day use due to the wealth of services they offer, they are very much at the mercy of financial markets and many people who have worked hard to accrue savings over the years are finding that the interest paid on their money is underwhelming to say the least. This makes the bank as an investment option increasingly less attractive, especially when compared with other options such as gold investment – an asset class almost as old as time, equally as historic, traditional and safe as banks and a tried-and-tested safe haven.
