Gold price trends, silver investment strategies, and platinum demand are increasingly drawing attention from first-time investors. If you're new to the world of precious metals, understanding the basics is the first step toward protecting and growing your wealth. Here's your beginner-friendly introduction to precious metals investing — tailored for both international buyers and investors based in Singapore.
Why Invest in Precious Metals?
In an environment of rising inflation, debt accumulation, and low bank returns, precious metals like Gold and Silver offer a dependable hedge against fiat currency debasement. While a typical endowment plan may yield 2–4% annually, gold priceshave soared over 800% since the year 2000 — making gold a historically sound store of value.
Silver and platinum aren’t far behind. Silver, often referred to as “poor man’s gold,” gained over 24% in the first half of 2025 alone. Platinum is gaining ground too, particularly due to its rising role in clean energy and hydrogen-related technologies.
These are not just alternative assets — they're smart strategies in an uncertain financial world.
How to Start Investing in Precious Metals
If you’re wondering how to buy gold in Singapore, the most direct way is to own it physically. At Indigo Precious Metals, you can purchase fully allocated physical bullion in the form of:
-
Platinum and palladium bullion
These assets can be securely stored in the LeFreeport Singapore vault, or delivered directly to you. Unlike paper gold or ETFs, your metals are fully segregated and 100% owned by you.
If you’re just starting out or prefer to accumulate slowly, try Indigo Gram Savings — a flexible plan that lets you build a bullion portfolio from as little as 1 gram at a time. It's ideal for investors looking to protect wealth without making large upfront commitments.
Why Precious Metals Are Unique Assets
What separates precious metals investments from stocks or real estate?
-
Limited Supply: Gold and silver cannot be printed like fiat currency.
-
Tangible Ownership: You own something real — not a promise.
-
High Liquidity: Physical metals can be easily sold globally, with consistent pricing.
-
Diversification: They perform differently from equities, helping stabilize portfolios.
Gold prices, in particular, tend to rise in times of currency debasement or geopolitical uncertainty — making them a reliable hedge against systemic risks.
