First you need to determine an investment product.

The types of investment in gold include:

1. Bank’s “paper gold” (Special Drawing Rights);

2. Shanghai Gold Exchange’s AUt+d (spot gold deferred trading);

3. Domestic large and small private transactions (spot precious metal transactions, relying on self-discipline);

4. Foreign financial institutions supervised Exchange market (external spot market, relying on self-discipline and supervision, that is, London gold in a broad sense);

5. Foreign large and small private markets (spot external market, relying on self-discipline);

6 .Shanghai Gold Futures Exchange (Futures).

2-5 are all market makers, but their funding backends are different.

The most obvious characteristic of market makers is the value of "benefiting oneself at the expense of others". The business model established based on this value must be nothing more than three methods:

1. Transaction The product itself bundles customers with losses.

For example, "low leverage pseudo-matching" market makers such as Shanghai Financial Exchange's t+d and Zhejiang Huilian's gold and silver products

2. Robbery through various coercive means .

For example, the highly leveraged Weicaijin, some unregulated external market makers and most internal market makers.

3. Comprehensive method 1 and 2.

For example, the Tianjin Exchange has a membership system.

It is difficult to describe the operating mechanisms and profit-making methods of these three categories.

So if investors want to invest to avoid risks in the era of inflation, they have a variety of options:

The safest option is to buy local government bonds and central enterprise bonds (treasury bonds will rise when inflation will definitely not be issued during the period). Generally, such bonds currently issued have an annualized rate of return of about 10% depending on the amount of purchase funds;

Secondly, you can make bank discount deposits, which are risk-free and have no income. The bonds are high, but you can get the cash with interest discount.

One thing to note is that you have to hand in the deposit certificate and get the interest discount;

You can make relatively stable trust investments again, and the annualized return is generally around 13-14%, but the current The economic situation is not good, so the trust's risk ratio to profits has increased, and it is not recommended;

You can also buy physical platinum. For physical delivery, you must first identify the institution that can receive the goods, otherwise you don't want to do it. purchase. Platinum is generally twice the price of gold, but now its price is at a historical low. It was even inverted with the price of gold a while ago. Therefore, the supply of platinum from South Africa has increased slightly recently, but it can still be regarded as a relatively safe hedging method at present. . (The premise is that the amount of funds is large enough, then the proportion of handling fees, processing fees, transportation fees, and warehousing fees will be relatively small. If the amount of funds is small, it is not necessary)

Finally, if you believe more If you have your own "skills", you might as well try your luck with external financing. You must check whether it is an external financing regulated by a financial institution. You can check the regulated unit on the website of the financial institution. Don't believe the lies of domestic and foreign financing agents. Everything needs to be done by yourself. Screening. (Urgent note: The Hong Kong Gold and Silver Industry Exchange itself is an informal regulatory agency, and it has become the patron saint of black platforms in the process of development, just like Wen Qiang).
