An 8-page introduction to four ways of investing in gold, with the ownership, cost and exit questions to investigate before comparing an offer.
Before you buy gold, know what you own.
Gold can sit behind several very different investments. This concise guide gives you a starting point for telling them apart.
Inside the 8-page PDF:
- Physical bullion: the metal, its custody and the terms of resale.
- Gold exchange-traded products: the structure, costs and documents behind a ticker.
- Mining equities: the operating business connected to the metal.
- Royalty and streaming companies: the contracts and counterparties behind their receipts.
- Practical questions to carry into the next stage of your research.
Use the map to choose what to investigate. Keep the answers tied to the actual product and its documents.

The guide is educational. It does not tell you which investment to buy or how much gold to own.
