Why trade gold & commodities?

Commodities often move on a different rhythm to shares, which is precisely what makes them useful alongside them.

A traditional hedge

Gold has a long history of holding attention when confidence in paper assets slips.

Low correlation

Commodities often move independently of equities, which softens a portfolio's swings.

Real-world drivers

Supply, weather and geopolitics move these markets — things you can actually reason about.

Long or short

Take a view on a fall in oil as readily as a rise in gold.

Before you trade gold & commodities: Commodities can be violently volatile — oil has traded through shocks that moved it double digits in a session. Leverage magnifies losses as readily as gains, and you can lose more than you expect. Only commit money you could afford to lose.

Prefer it managed?

If you'd rather not place the orders yourself, a managed plan runs to a set amount and duration.
