Welcome to your Golden Era.
What is investment gold?
-
Pure gold (≥ 999.9/1000) in physical form, sold as bars with certified and guaranteed purity
-
Exempt from VAT in Italy/EU in forms and weights recognized by law and accepted by the market
And what it is not?
-
It is not digital or tokenized gold: a digital record linked to gold held by third parties, transferable digitally, but not physically owned.
-
It is not financial gold (ETF), a market-traded instrument that replicates the gold price, but does not provide direct ownership of the metal.
Why invest in physical gold today
Before asking yourself “Why with IGE Gold?”, you might ask “Why invest in gold?”
There are at least 3 main reasons:
1
Protection against inflation and financial tensions
Gold preserves purchasing power when currencies weaken. It has historically been a shield against devaluation.
2
Portfolio diversification
Gold has low correlation with stocks and bonds: including it in your financial mix reduces overall volatility.
3
Universal, real, and enduring value
It is a tangible asset that withstands time and is recognized everywhere. Central banks keep it in reserves even in unstable markets.
Data check
Central banks purchased over 1,000 tons of gold in 2024.
This is the third consecutive year above this threshold: institutional trust in the precious metal is growing.
In 2025 gold surpassed $3,000/oz, reaching new historic highs.
Gold reached new records in 2025, driven by geopolitical instability and increasing demand.
+25% gold investments by savers and funds in the past year.
A clear signal of widespread trust in the yellow metal as a safe-haven asset.
With IGE GOLD S.p.A., you can do so even with small amounts, in a simple and secure way: supported by a Group with 100 years of experience, direct physical custody managed by us, under the supervision of the Bank of Italy and the OAM, and backed by First Loss insurance coverage. Holdings are monitored daily through structured internal audits. On a periodic basis, an independent third-party entity certifies the full reconciliation between accounting records and the physical gold, with formal communication provided to the Client. By appointment, it is also possible to personally inspect your gold held in custody.

How to invest with the IGE Gold app
Two methods, one goal: simplify access to physical gold as an investment.
Direct purchase
Do you want to buy gold just once?
Spot purchase is the best solution for you.
-
You choose the amount: you can enter the amount in euros or directly indicate the quantity of gold in grams.
-
Price always updated: the gold price is updated every 5 minutes in the app according to market trends.
-
Real validation: the order is finalized only after payment verification. At that moment, the effective quotation is applied, and the corresponding amount of gold is confirmed.
-
Minimum purchase: by law, it is not possible to buy less than 1.01 g.
-
Immediate Ownership: every gram purchased is registered in your name and managed exclusively by IGE GOLD.
-
Post-purchase management: for every purchase, your gold will be deposited and managed by IGE GOLD, and covered by an insurance policy with first-loss guarantee. You can request home delivery in standard gold bars or sell it back directly through the app, with the proceeds credited to your account.
Accumulation Plan (SIP)
Do you want to build wealth over time, starting from a small reserve?
The Accumulation Plan (SIP) is the right choice.
-
Automatic purchase: you don’t have to worry about anything; charges are recurring and the app records every transaction.
-
Transparent price: the quotation is calculated with a proprietary algorithm based on real gold availability, not on virtual stock. Fees are included and always visible.
-
Total flexibility: you can stop, pause, or modify the plan at any time. No contractual obligations.
-
Gradual accumulation: regular purchases reduce the impact of market fluctuations and create value over time using the “average cost” principle.
