"The Moscow Exchange is consistently developing organized trading in precious metals, with transactions secured by physical metal in a vault. The past year has shown that more and more investors are adding precious metals to their portfolios as long-term assets. Investing in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium is becoming as commonplace as, for example, investing in high-quality bonds. And today, purchasing precious metals directly or through collective investment vehicles is part of a sound strategy aimed at preserving and growing capital, as well as protecting against systemic risks."
