Gold prices have reached a record high

At MoneyMagpie we've consistently been big fans of gold - in fact, we've got a whole webinar about it on Thursday which you can sign-up to here.

But with record highs, you might be wondering if it's too late to invest. Well, no-one can know for certain, but if gold thrives during times of economic uncertainty, there are some who think that prices will continue to rise as we approach the November budget. 

If you want to put a bit into gold, we're big fans of Bullion Club. They offer a wide range of tax-free gold investments, which are excellent for tax-efficient investors.

This should not be considered as financial advice. Anyone thinking of investing should conduct their own due diligence. When investing your capital is at risk.
