Market risk
Precious metals prices fluctuate based on market conditions, economic factors, and investor sentiment. Holdings can decrease as well as increase.
Liquidity risk
Physical metals are not as liquid as stocks or bonds. Selling requires a physical transaction and may take more time than selling securities electronically.
Storage risk
Home storage leaves security and insurance responsibility with the owner. Professional storage adds costs but provides custody controls and insurance.
Counterparty risk
Custodians and depositories introduce third-party relationships. Clients should understand how those institutions hold, insure, and account for metals.
