Actively managed product offers increased potential for returns on gold investments 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates: As investors across the globe look for safe havens such as gold during turbulent economic times, Swissquote Bank Ltd, a global provider of online financial and trading services, has announced a new trading certificate which offers investors a smarter way to invest in gold using long-term and covered call strategies.

Available to investors in the GCC through Swissquote MEA, Swissquote’s Gold Active Trading Certificate allows its clients to invest in an actively managed gold portfolio that is expected to offer returns even when the price of gold is flat or declining in the short-term. This method consists of periodically selling call options, enabling the strategy to lower volatility and achieve returns that can be expected to outshine the total return generated by a portfolio holding the same allocation of physical gold.

Commenting on the announcement, Dino Ibric, Vice Director at Swissquote MEA said: “Gold has always been a preferred option for investors looking to hedge against volatility in the markets. However, returns on investing in physical gold have always relied on fluctuations in its value, meaning results can be underwhelming when markets are flat or declining. Swissquote’s Gold Active Trading Certificate allows our investors to enjoy better returns over the long-term using instruments that can generate profits in a weak market environment”.

“The lack of performance of two major local investment opportunities – regional stock markets and the Real Estate sector - has pushed investors to diversify their assets into alternative investments. This includes Gold which in times of economic uncertainty is considered a safe haven (and tends to hold or increase in value over time). As a result, we have seen strong demand from both retail and institutional clients, and we believe that this trend will carry on for the near future” added Ibric.

Swissquote MEA is the only financial entity in the GCC region offering multi-currency offshore accounts without a minimum balance, as well as market-leading Forex rates and a credit card offering transactions in up to 12 currencies, making it a popular choice for financially savvy GCC-based expatriates. In addition to its digital corporate and retail account services, Swissquote MEA offers numerous trading and investment benefits, including access to over three million financial products from stock markets across the world, as well as real time tools for analysis and research, themed investment portfolios, cryptocurrency trading, and online guidance and webinars for first-time investors.
