Gold has long been an investment tool. It has high value and is an independent resource, which is not restricted by any country or trade market and does not involve companies or governments. Therefore, investing in gold can usually help investors avoid possible problems in the economic environment, and gold investment is the investment project with the lightest tax burden in the world. Gold investment means investing in gold bars, coins and even gold ornaments. There are many different kinds of gold accounts in the investment market.
Paper gold refers to the paper trading of gold, and the trading records of investors are only reflected in the "gold passbook account" opened by individuals in advance, and do not involve the withdrawal of physical gold. The profit model is to buy low and sell high, so as to obtain the difference profit. Compared with physical gold, its transaction is more convenient and faster, and the transaction cost is relatively low, which is suitable for short-term operation of professional investors. At present, three domestic banks have started paper gold business, namely Huang Jinbao of China Bank, gold experts of China Industrial and Commercial Bank and account gold of China Construction Bank.
Some qualified commercial banks in China can sell physical gold, but investors should be cautious when storing it. Because banks or merchants pay great attention to whether they are in good condition when they buy back.
Gold futures have just been opened in China this year, because the domestic futures market has been opened, so the supervision in this area is relatively standardized. So don't worry.
Gold fund is the abbreviation of gold investment mutual fund. The so-called gold investment mutual fund is a kind of mutual fund organized by fund sponsors, subscribed by investors, and managed by fund companies, which use gold or gold derivatives as investment media. It is managed by an investment committee composed of experts. The investment risk of gold fund is relatively small, and the income is relatively stable, which has the same characteristics as well-known securities investment funds.
The so-called gold stocks refer to listed or unlisted stocks issued by gold mining companies to the public, so they can also be called gold mining company stocks. Because buying and selling gold stocks is not only investing in gold mining companies, but also indirectly investing in gold, this investment behavior is more complicated than simply buying and selling gold or buying and selling stocks. Investors should not only pay attention to the operating conditions of gold mining companies, but also analyze the price trend of the gold market.
