If we\u2019re talking about one of the most popular investment assets in Malaysia, then gold has to be the one that makes it to the top of the list.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you know? In the last 20 years, the price of gold has risen <\/span>over 600%<\/span><\/a> globally.<\/span><\/p>\n

If we look at the situation closer to home, the price increase is even higher. According to Bank Negara’s Kijang Emas<\/a> day trading prices, if you were lucky enough to have bought an ounce of gold back in January 2002, it would have cost you just over RM1,000 and that same ounce of gold will be worth more than RM8,000 today!<\/p>\n

Even in the past two years alone (Jan \u201922 vs Jan \u201920), gold price increased by about 20%, meaning anyone who bought gold just two years ago can now sell them at a 20% profit. This shows just how much of a valuable addition gold is to any investor\u2019s portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is why gold is regarded as a <\/span>\u2018safe haven\u2019<\/span><\/a>\u00a0 investment, as it diversifies an investor\u2019s portfolio and is beneficial during times of market volatility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, gold is such a safe asset to own, that it can also be a very feasible investment option for novice and retail investors too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While many of us may already own gold gifted or inherited from our family members, there are many more ways you can own gold today.<\/span><\/p>\n
