How to invest in silver ?

Whether in times of crisis or to diversify your portfolio, investing in silver offers real opportunities to investors.

Money: a profitable investment ?

Silver, gold, platinum or even palladium do not present any particular advantages in terms of dividends or annual interest. The purchase of a silver bar relates to the saver's desire to secure part of his money, particularly during inflation. Silver is a safe haven, since its price varies little over time. You will be able to resell your physical silver at a value close to that of purchase. In certain cases, the resale will result in a capital gain.

Money is therefore not a profitable product, like other investment products that generate regular profits.

Physical money, life insurance, SCPI, etc

Heritage diversification helps avoid excessive capital losses. The different sectors in which you invest your money will not feel the effects of global crises in the same way.

Life insurance is the preferred investment of the French. Insurers are pushing savers to opt for more profitable unit-linked contracts. However, the decline in interest experienced over several years reduces the amount of interest paid each year. Rates are rising and euro-funded contracts will also provide higher returns. It will still be necessary to wait several months, or even several years, before returning to correct performance.

As for investments in real estate, the interest rates linked to loans are blocking more and more investors. The SCPI solution is then advantageous and makes it possible to collectively purchase real estate, often for commercial purposes. However, withdrawing money if necessary takes a long time. In addition to the acquisition costs (generally 10%), the sale of the shares can take several months.

To overcome these disadvantages, purchasing physical silver allows greater flexibility in managing your portfolio. You buy and sell whenever you want and you are protected from a fall in property prices.

What future for metal silver ?

Indicators show that silver has a bright future ahead of it. Weak growth and inflation offer prospects for growth in the price of an ounce of silver. Large global industrial projects require silver, which may lead to an increase in the price of silver:

• Wind and solar projects in China;
• Development of electric cars and electronic objects: major consumers of money;
• Use of silver in scientific and technological equipment.
