4 Gold Investments That Pay Off During a Recession
SHARE

Gold has long been considered a safe haven for investors looking to hedge against inflation, but in recent years, it has proven to be a stellar performer. While gold prices didn’t see a significant increase when inflation peaked in mid-2022, they started to soar in October 2023, rising by a remarkable 83% over the following 18 months. This surge can be attributed to various factors, including economic uncertainty, geopolitical turmoil, momentum, and speculation.

With the economy showing signs of contraction in the first quarter of 2025 and the lingering impact of the Trump administration’s tariffs yet to be fully felt, some economists are predicting a recession. In such an environment, gold could continue to see gains, making it an attractive investment option.

There are several ways for investors to participate in the gold market. One of the easiest and most liquid options is through exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Gold ETFs trade on public stock exchanges and can be bought and sold at any time during market hours. With zero-commission brokers now prevalent, investors can make transactions without incurring additional costs, apart from a small expense ratio.

For those who prefer owning physical assets, buying physical gold bullion in the form of bars, ingots, or coins is another option. However, storing physical bullion securely can be costly, and dealers often charge significant markups for buying or selling. Despite these drawbacks, owning physical bullion provides investors with a tangible asset that they can hold in their hands.

Another way to profit from rising gold prices is by investing in companies that mine and refine the precious metal. Many major gold producers trade on public stock exchanges and can be bought and sold without commission, similar to gold ETFs. However, investing in mining stocks comes with different risk-reward characteristics compared to owning gold bullion or ETFs, as stock prices are influenced by various factors beyond just the price of gold.

For investors who prefer a hands-off approach, investing in a gold mutual fund could be a suitable option. These funds typically offer a blend of physical gold, ETFs, and mining companies, providing diversification and exposure to other precious metals like silver, platinum, or palladium. While mutual funds may be more expensive than ETFs or mining stocks, they offer a convenient way to access the gold market through professional management.

As gold is often viewed as a safe-haven asset, investors tend to flock to it during times of economic uncertainty or unrest, such as during a recession. If the contraction in Q1 2025 continues, gold prices may continue to rise, potentially reaching new highs. However, it’s essential to remember that all investments carry risks, and diversification is key to a well-rounded portfolio.

In conclusion, gold remains a popular investment choice for many investors seeking stability and potential returns during uncertain times. By exploring the various avenues for investing in gold, individuals can tailor their investment strategy to suit their risk tolerance and financial goals.
