Why do investors choose a 250-gram gold bar?
This size is often chosen by investors who want to expand their position in gold in an efficient manner. The premium per gram is lower than for smaller bars, while the gold bar remains compact. This makes the 250g gold bar a logical intermediate step between smaller bars and a 1 kilo gold bar.
When to choose the 250g gold bar?
A 250-gram gold bar is particularly interesting if you:
- want to invest more than with a 100-gram gold bar, but find the step to a 1-kilogram gold bar too big;
- are looking for a price advantage per gram compared to smaller bars, while still wanting to retain flexibility for a future sale;
- want to spread your gold holdings by combining several medium-sized bars.
With a 250-gram gold bar, you usually buy close to the spot price (the current gold price), often only around 1.5% above it. Despite the higher purchase price, this size is compact and therefore easy and discreet to store in a safe or safe deposit box. In addition, a 250-gram gold bar is easily tradable worldwide at banks and recognized precious metal dealers.
