One can say that from time immemorial, gold and silver coins had been looked upon as a safer investment options. With time, the options have expanded and nowadays even platinum is a good investment option for millions of people around the world.
Investors today are stocking platinum coins and bullion, stocks and bonds, even futures in some cases to maintain a diversified portfolio that range from gold, silver and palladium to other expensive metals. One of the reasons for the growing demand of platinum may be the scarcity of the metal in the market that increases its price and subsequently makes it a safer investment option.
Platinum is available in limited reserves and therefore one needs to be extra cautious while buying them since there are many sellers who pose as authentic, but sell fake or imitation products.
There are many ways of investing in platinum. One can either invest in physical platinum like bullion bars and coins or can invest in non-physical platinum assets like stocks, bonds or futures. No physical assets are shown in the legal papers, you do not get to touch them physically and even do not know whether there are actually any platinum bars or bullion reserved under your name! This is often one of the reasons why the buyers of platinum are divided into two part: the ones who are investing in the metal only as a medium of diversifying their portfolio and therefore are not interested whether they can keep the metal in person or not, and the second group that buys coins and bullion to keep them safely at home so that from time to time they can have a look at their assets.
