Everyone says buy gold. Then what?

John Paulson recently argued that gold remains in the early stages of a long-term bull market. 

The billionaire hedge fund manager is hardly alone.

• Governments continue accumulating gold.
• Central banks are diversifying their reserves.
• Investors remain concerned about debt, inflation, and fiat currencies.

The case for owning gold has rarely been stronger.

But after you've bought it, what comes next?

Pay to store and insure your metal?
Earn nothing while you own it?
Wait for the price to rise and eventually face the decision of whether to sell?

The costs of owning gold have become so familiar that you probably don’t even question them.

Meanwhile, at Monetary Metals, clients can earn up to 4% yield on gold, paid in gold, by leasing their metal to gold-using businesses.

“But my grandparents said gold isn't productive.”

For generations, that was true. Physical gold served as a store of value, not a source of income. 

Investors who wanted both gold exposure and cash flow often turned to mining stocks. In return, they accepted the operational and business risks that come with owning a company instead of the metal itself.

Today, investors have another option.

Gold leasing enables businesses to pay for the productive use of physical gold by compensating investors with a yield denominated in gold. Instead of depending solely on appreciation, investors can earn additional ounces while continuing to own the asset.

A bull market isn't the only way to benefit from owning gold.

Even investors who agree on gold's long-term outlook often disagree about what happens next. 

One week, higher energy prices and interest-rate expectations weigh on gold. The next, renewed buying or geopolitical uncertainty pushes prices higher.

Headlines change far more often than long-term investment objectives.

If price appreciation is your only source of return, your investment experience depends almost entirely on forces you cannot control.

Gold leasing doesn’t eliminate price volatility, but it does introduce another potential source of return that can minimize the impact of falling prices.

Did you buy gold just to own more dollars?

Many investors buy gold because they want to preserve purchasing power outside the fiat monetary system.

Yet the traditional strategy for benefiting from gold often ends with selling it for dollars.

Gold leasing offers another approach: instead of waiting for the right moment to sell, you can continue owning physical gold while earning additional gold over time.
