In line with our theme on alternative asset classes, in this week’s podcast Maya (@mayaonmoney) and Mapalo (@womanandfinance) discuss investing in gold. Is gold a good investment? What role should it play in your portfolio and how do you go about investing in gold ‒ because there are many different ways to gain exposure to this precious metal.

The podcast has three parts – from traditional gold investments through to new-age ones. We discuss investing in gold coins with Glenn Schoeman of the South African Association of Numismatic Dealers; investing in gold through the stock market with Craig Pheiffer of Absa Stockbrokers; and gaining exposure to the precious metal through tokenized gold with Sean Sanders of Revix.
