Investing in Gold ETFs vs. Physical Gold

Gold ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) allow you to invest in gold without storing it. They are liquid and easy to trade on stock exchanges. However, you don't physically own the metal, and there are management fees.

Physical gold offers tangible security and has no counterparty risk. It is ideal for long-term wealth preservation, though it comes with storage and insurance costs. Your choice depends on your investment horizon and liquidity needs.
