Germans love gold, especially in recent years private gold ownership has increased enormously. A good 250 tons were added in the past two years alone. Whether bars, coins or jewellery, around 6.5 percent of the world's gold stocks are in the hands of Germans. This is about 8,918 tons of gold.
For comparison, the German Bundesbank owns 3,370 tons of gold, the US Federal Reserve brings it to 8,130 tons of precious metal. 39 percent of the German citizens' private gold treasure is safely stored in bank lockers. According to surveys, about three quarters of those who have bought gold in recent years want to buy more gold in the future. A major reason is certainly the political uncertainties.
And the Germans can afford to get their hands on gold, because they are becoming increasingly wealthy. The Bundesbank survey, which takes place every three years, was currently carried out and the average value of the assets after deduction of debts amounts to 233,000 euros.
Investing part of your assets in physical gold is certainly not a bad idea. However, those who are not entirely risk averse and would like to leverage the price of gold should fancy investing in shares of solid and successful gold companies. For example Osisko Gold Royalties or Steppe Gold could be considered.
Osisko Gold Royalties - http://www.commodity-tv.net/c/search_adv/?v=299134 - is a precious metal company that earns with Royaltys (for a one-time payment to a mine for financing, Osisko Gold Royalties then receives a certain percentage of the gold produced). In addition there are streams and precious metal take offs. Through a silver stream facility with Falco Resources, for example, Osisko Gold can receive up to 100 percent of the silver produced on Horne 5 in Quebec.
Steppe Gold - http://www.commodity-tv.net/c/search_adv/?v=299041 - wants to start producing gold on its ATO gold project in Mongolia this year. High gold contents and low production costs are a big plus of the project.
