In fact, a 2025 Gallup poll found that 23% of Americans believed gold was the best long-term investment, up five points from the previous year.But what's the best way to invest in gold? There are several options, from buying physical gold coins to investing in stocks or mutual funds. Below, learn about where to invest in gold, the different options available, and their fees.Between Dec. 31, 2015, and Dec. 31, 2025, gold's price went from $1,062.25 to $4,339.64 — a 308% increase.Investors can purchase physical gold, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), or stocks.Some investments have added fees, such as storage costs.There are several ways to invest in gold. Which is best for you depends on your up-front investment and financial goals.Minimum InvestmentLiquidityFeesTaxesPhysical Gold$250+LowDealer premiums, storageCollectibles tax rateGold ETFs$5HighExpense ratiosCapital gains taxesGold Mutual Funds$1,000+ModerateManagement feesCapital gains taxesGold Stocks$5HighBrokerage feesCapital gains taxesGold Futures and OptionsVaries, but often $1,000+HighContract feesComplex tax rulesGold IRAs$5,000+LowCustodian and storage feesTax-advantaged retirement accountLearn more: Investing in gold? Here’s how to avoid a tax hit.Best for: Long-term investors who want a physical assetOwning physical gold is one of the most popular forms of precious metal investing. You can purchase gold coins or bars and store them as a personal hedge against inflation. There's no need to worry about brokerage firms.Gold coins and bars are tangibleNot reliant on brokerages or banksDirect ownershipAdded storage and insurance costsRisk of theft or lossesLess liquid than stocks or ETFsLearn more: Gold storage myths debunkedBest for: Hands-off investorsAn ETF is a fund that tracks and mimics the performance of gold. For example, SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) ETF mimics the price of gold bullion.With an ETF, you can buy and sell shares like stocks. As a result, ETFs are more liquid than physical gold, and you can buy fractional shares, or small slices of ETFs.Highly liquidLow entry investmentNo storage or insurance costsNo physical ownershipETF feesPrices may vary from gold spot priceBest for: Investors who want to diversify with precious metalsMutual funds invest in a range of stocks, but they may include gold-related companies, such as mining corporations. There are passive funds that track gold market indices and active funds that strive to outperform the market.Easy diversificationCan be incorporated in retirement accountsNo storage or insurance costsHigher fees than ETFs, particularly for active-managed fundsInvestment may fluctuate more than the gold spot priceLess liquid than ETFsBest for: Investors comfortable with higher levels of riskWith stocks, you can invest in companies related to the gold industry, such as mining companies or businesses that use gold in their manufacturing processes. Stocks are more liquid than physical gold, but you're investing in one particular company, and you may experience higher levels of risk.More liquid than physical goldCan benefit from rising gold prices and company growthPotential for higher returnsMore volatile than ETFs or mutual fundsCan fall even if gold's price is upHigher risk of losing moneyBest for: Experienced investorsGold futures and options aren't for the faint of heart; they're best for very experienced investors who are financially stable and can handle a high level of risk.Gold futures and options are derivative contracts that let investors speculate on the future price of gold without needing to own the gold. Futures contracts lock in a price at which you buy or sell in the future, while gold options give you the ability to sell at a specific price at a certain date (but you aren't required to sell at that price).Investors tend to use leveraged investments, meaning they invest with borrowed money. This allows you to invest with less up-front capital, but it significantly increases the risk of losses.Read more: What would happen if all the gold in the world were sold tomorrow?Less up-front capitalPotential for higher returnsVery liquidExtremely high riskChance of significant losses beyond the initial investmentRequires active and complex investment managementBest for: Retirement-focused investorsA gold IRA is a type of self-directed IRA that allows you to invest in physical gold within a tax-advantaged retirement account. You can take advantage of perks like tax-deductible contributions and tax-free account growth, but these accounts are subject to the same rules as traditional IRAs. For example, you have the same contribution limits on a gold IRA as you do on a traditional IRA, and you're required to make required minimum distributions (RMDs).Read more: Gold IRAs vs. physical gold: Which is the better investment?Gold IRAs require your own work with a custodian, and you have to store your gold with an approved vault, adding to your overall costs.Tax-advantaged investmentsDiversified retirement portfolioIncludes physical goldHigh custodian and storage feesStrict IRS rulesLess liquid than stocks, ETFs, or mutual fundsIf you're looking to diversify your portfolio and hedge against inflation, gold can act as a useful tool.
