Buying and Investing in Palladium Bullion and Coins

Palladium, like platinum, can be a useful precious metals asset to add to an investment portfolio. Its industrial uses can cause its price to fluctuate somewhat independently of investor activity.

Rarer than either gold or silver, palladium can be a powerful addition to a precious metals portfolio. Because of its unique supply and demand circumstances, the metal can be attractive to speculative investors.

Investors can purchase palladium in both bullion bar and bullion coin form. Bars can suit investors seeking efficient metal weight, while coins can offer recognizability and convenient unit sizes.

Certificates and funds can provide exposure, but they are not the same as holding a physical hard asset directly.
