"The best way to invest in gold bullion will depend on the buyer’s resources, as well as their intentions. For example, gold coins and small gold bars are available, ranging in size from 1 gram upwards. But the cost per gram of these small units vary much more by manufacturer, weight, year and form than a 400 Troy ounce wholesale gold bullion bar.\n\nOwning gold within Good Delivery wholesale bars, cast by LBMA-approved refiners and weighing around 400 ounces (12.5 kilograms), offers the best way to invest in gold if the buyer wants value, security and the ability to sell quickly for full value.\n\nStored and insured in specialist vaults, this large-bar gold comes with a warranty of quality and authenticity traced all the way back to the refiner. It enjoys the tightest trading price spread – the difference between price to buy and to sell – because of the highly liquid wholesale bullion market. BullionVault enables you to invest in gold in this wholesale form whilst also benefiting from incredibly low commission fees ranging from 0.5% down to 0.05%.\n\nChoosing the best gold investment route will depend on the buyer’s resources and aims. A few gold coins or a small bar hidden at home needn't cost too much, but you will still need to arrange additional cover on your home insurance. Compared to wholesale investment gold, this route is also expensive by weight, reducing gains or worsening your losses if prices fall.\n\nOwning gold within a Good Delivery bar, cast by an LBMA-approved refiner and insured inside market-recognized vaults, makes a safer and cost-effective way of investing in gold. Because the metal's quality and authenticity are warranted, and because the bars are traded in the highly liquid wholesale market, the price spreads (the difference between buying and selling prices) are very tight. Using BullionVault, commission fees are incredibly low ranging from 0.5% down to 0.05%."
