For centuries, Gold has been recognised as a global currency and an object of beauty. Today, Gold has the potential to help you grow your wealth.
1. Store of Value: Gold has held its value over the long term very well
2. Hedge against Inflation: Gold has remained largely stable in terms of retaining its purchasing power. In contrast, the real value of most currencies has generally declined
3. Investment Diversification: Gold has low correlation with major asset classes
4. Protection from economic turmoil: Gold has continued to perform well in times of economic turmoil
As a Citibank customer, you get to enjoy 2 innovative gold investments:

Both innovations provide you the benefits of a gold investment without the hassles and costs of physical possession. That’s not all. You are also entitled to invest via multiple currencies.
