📊 Market Analysis — November 20, 2025
❓ 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
Storage Considerations: Home safe (for holdings under C$50,000), bank safe deposit box (limited insurance), or allocated vault storage through dealers like Kitco or Sprott Money (institutional security, insured). Each option involves different cost, convenience, and risk trade-offs.
Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA): Buy a fixed CAD amount of gold each month — say C$500. This strategy reduces the impact of short-term volatility and removes the stress of timing the market. Over 10+ years, DCA has historically produced returns close to the annual average gold price.
