Before you buy gold, consider checking the current price of gold. The price can be affected by many factors, such as shifts within the markets, as well as political or geopolitical issues. So it’s useful to keep an eye on current affairs to decide whether it’s a good time to buy gold or sell some of your holdings.
It’s also important to consider the tax implications. They can vary based on your location and personal circumstances. So it’s a good idea to research the specific regulations of where you reside regarding capital gains tax, VAT, and any other potential exemptions or allowances.

Why invest in small bars?
Investing in a smaller bar, such as the 50-gram gold bar, has many advantages. In general, investors like to invest in gold to use it as a hedge against inflation, but you can also enjoy a couple of other advantages when you buy 50 g of gold bars.
Small size, great flexibility
Smaller in size, the 50 g gold bar offers flexibility as it means you can buy larger quantities and resell them gradually, as and when needed. So, technically, you could own 1 kg or more of gold but in smaller sizes, giving you more flexibility to sell.
Investment portfolio diversification
The 50 g gold bar can also be used as a way to diversify your precious metal holdings.
By adding the 50-gram gold bar to your portfolio, you introduce an additional layer of diversification to your portfolio, potentially reducing overall risk. Having a mix of different assets, including precious metals like gold, can help balance your portfolio's performance and protect against unexpected market events.
