Gold Investment makes it easier for potential investors to invest in gold by for one listing the factors they need to consider before making an investment in gold: 

• Authorised Gold Dealers
  
  Gold Investment recommends that investors give preference to 'authorised gold dealers' or 'qualified gold brokers' when investing in gold in South Africa.
• Collector's Value
  
  Gold Investment recommends that investors take collector's value into consideration when investing in gold. This is if they don't want to overpay for something that may actually be worth less than the selling price (or even the gold price quoted in terms of the monetary value).
• Direct or Indirect investment in gold?
  
  It is no secret that there are various direct and indirect methods to invest in gold. This can make it tricky when investors need to decide whether to invest directly or indirectly in gold (or in both).
• Gold Price
  
  Gold Investment recommends that investors take the different prices quoted for gold into account when deciding to invest in gold.
• Gold Purity and Weight
  
  Gold purity and weight are important factors to consider when deciding to invest in gold.
• Gold Storage
  
  How you are going to store your gold, is one of the factors you will need to consider when you decide to invest in gold through the purchase of physical gold and its ownership.
• How much should I invest in gold?
  
  Research from the World Gold Council shows that an optimal investment portfolio, which maximises returns and minimises risks, should contain between 5% and 30% of gold for different investors' risk profiles.
