📊 Market Analysis — September 27, 2021
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
❓ Can I hold gold in my RRSP or TFSA?
Gold bars and coins with 99.5%+ purity from approved refiners can be held in a self-directed RRSP or TFSA through a qualified custodian. Storage is handled by approved vault facilities like those operated by the Royal Canadian Mint.
❓ Is this product GST/HST-exempt in Canada?
Under the Excise Tax Act, investment-grade gold bullion with 99.5% or higher purity is exempt from GST/HST across all Canadian provinces. Products below this threshold (e.g., American Eagle at 91.67% gold) are subject to full provincial sales tax.
❓ How should I store gold safely at home?
If storing at home, use a UL-rated fire-resistant safe bolted to concrete. Consider a rider on your home insurance policy. For larger holdings, allocated vault storage through Kitco Pool or Sprott Money provides institutional-grade security.
💡 Canadian Gold Investor Guide
Portfolio Allocation: Most Canadian financial planners recommend allocating 5–15% of a diversified portfolio to gold and precious metals. This allocation provides downside protection during equity bear markets while maintaining growth potential during inflationary periods.
Physical vs Paper Gold: Physical bullion (bars, coins) provides tangible ownership with no counterparty risk, ideal for long-term holdings. ETFs (CGL.TO, MNT.TO) offer convenience for trading and rebalancing. A combination of both can optimize for both security and flexibility.
