Investing in Platinum

Platinum is a unique investment opportunity among precious metals. Like silver, platinum is also used as an industrial metal, opening it up to more sources of demand than just finance. What do you need to know to get started with platinum investment?

Types of Platinum Investment

Platinum is available in a variety of forms for investment.

Physical Platinum: Platinum can be bought in coins, bars and rounds, like other investment-grade precious metals. These come with a variable amount of premium over and above the spot price, with coin usually carrying more markup than other forms of the metal. Smaller amounts carry more markup than larger amounts.
Platinum Stocks: There are stocks that are exposed to the spot price of platinum, with the biggest example being mining stocks. These stocks can be bought and sold easily on exchanges and are affected by more factors than just the price of the metal. Other factors may include the stability of the region where the mine is located or how advanced the company’s mining technology is.
Platinum Options and Futures: These derivative investments allow for highly-leveraged short-term bets on the price of platinum. They come with significant risk, though, and are not meant for long-term investment or inexperienced investors.
Platinum ETFs: Platinum ETFs are funds made of a large basket of platinum-related assets. These can include physical platinum itself, mining stocks, logistical companies involved in PGMs (platinum group metals) and more.
Digital Platinum: Platinum can be bought and sold through various digital exchanges in fractional amounts. OneGold falls under this category, although OneGold has the additional advantage of redemption for physical platinum products.
