Gold is a very precious metal and indeed an investment tool. From the centuries, gold is considered as a most valuable asset. Investors buy gold to diversify their risks. Gold is a stable asset and due to its limited availability the price of gold increases every year. That's why many investors invest in gold to increase their wealth.
The most traditional way of investing into gold is through bullion gold bars and bullion coins. But they are very risky to store and transfer due to theft issues. That's why gold certificates are issued to investors corresponding to physical gold bars stored in safe locations.
But there are many problems associated with gold, which are:
• It is difficult to determine whether the bonds/certificates are improperly allocated a single gold bar to more than one party
• Whether the gold bars stored in a location or country, there is a possibility of absence
• The purity of gold bars can be forged with other metals and it is difficult to detect easily
• The value of bond changes constantly
• The presence of intermediaries in the market creates unnecessary commissions
• Safe repositories are needed to store gold
