#Preciousmetals have long been viewed as safe haven #assets, providing balance to #investment #portfolios. Obviously, #gold is already established as a common retail investment but #silver is now in focus. With its many #industrial uses, silver can outperform when #economies return to growth as well as providing essential #hedging in downturns. [...] Investors in silver are usually looking to capture three key investment benefits: 1: Capital #Preservation & #Inflation Hedging: Physical precious metals such as silver provide an alternative store of #wealth. 2. #Diversification: An allocation to silver can enable an investor to increase their #risk appetite in other asset classes while maintaining the same overall level of portfolio risk. 3. #Capital Growth: In 2009 alone, silver investment increased by 184 per cent. In several of its uses, such as #medicinal and #photographic applications, the silver is expired. This means the total amount of silver available in the world reduces each day.
