Gold’s been trusted for thousands of years — and in today’s unpredictable world, that trust still holds strong. It doesn’t degrade, it’s globally recognised, and unlike fiat currency, it can’t be printed out of thin air. When the economy wobbles or inflation bites, gold stands firm. That’s why many of us stack it.
One of the biggest benefits? You own it outright. No banks, no passwords, no middlemen — just real wealth in your hands. UK stackers also get the bonus of VAT-free investment-grade gold, and CGT exemption on coins like the Britannia and Sovereign. It’s a rare mix of security and tax efficiency. Sure, gold doesn’t pay dividends, and you’ll need secure storage — but you’re trading yield for peace of mind. It’s not about chasing quick profits. It’s about building something that lasts.
For me, gold isn’t a gamble — it’s the foundation.
