Non-physical Platinum Investments
The modern financial world offers the platinum investor a wide range of means of gaining access into the platinum market.
Platinum Stocks, Mutual Funds & ETFs
A number of platinum mining companies trade in major public stock exchanges around the world. Investing in platinum by holding shares of a platinum mining firm is not as straightforward as buying platinum itself. For more information on how this investment approach works, see platinum stocks.
Alternatively, you can also participate in platinum's long term appreciation by investing in platinum mutual funds or platinum ETFs.
Platinum Options & Futures
For short term speculative bets, you can take up a position by buying platinum options or futures contracts. These derivatives offer leverage to the platinum investor, allowing him or her to control a large position in platinum for a relatively small investment. On the flipside, the chance of losing one's entire investment is high, making them very risky investment options.
