hedge against inflation.
Spreading assets throughout a balanced portfolio is key to protecting wealth. It’s called diversification. Any
financial advisor will tell you the best way to safeguard money is to invest it in a mixed portfolio of equity and
fixed income assets such as stocks, bonds and savings accounts.
Regardless of your investment strategy, physical assets like gold and silver can serve as a protective harbor
against financial storms. They’re a hedge against inflation. They buffer savings against political and economic
risk. They’re tangible.
As stocks fall, gold and silver generally rise in value. Precious metals also shine as the U.S. Federal Reserve
prints money, leading to inflation. Or as the dollar weakens against foreign currencies. Or as banks risk failure.
Gold and silver also do well as governments such as the United States spend deeply into the red. Or as govern-
ments worldwide fail to payback their loans.
In the past decade, the value of the Dow Jones Industrial Average has ticked up 60 percent. During the same
period, gold has more than doubled in value, by 120 percent.
Gold and silver, added to your individual retirement account, can greatly boost your investment portfolio and
reduce risk during economic turmoil.

Historic Role of Gold A large part of gold’s value is tied up in its past. In how it kept it’s value across centuries, and
increased its worth, thousands of times over. The regard and awe in which gold is held is a
measure of the attraction and fascination, of this amazing yellow metal.
Noble Gold is proud to be based here in California – this is where the Amer-
ican story of gold began. Whether you are thinking of starting a gold IRA
rollover or just have an interest in gold, we hope you find this brief history
as fascinating as we do.
