That’s why major investors put gold, silver and platinum in their portfolios

Frankfurt In times of high inflation and great uncertainty on the stock markets, large investors also rely more on tangible assets far from the stock market. These include precious metals, commodities and alternative investments such as over-the-counter investments.

The Bank for Church and Caritas (BKC) pursues such a strategy, which is special in many respects. It is the youngest cooperative church bank in Germany and mainly counts churches and foundations among its customers.

The only thing that is remarkable is the investment horizon of the pew. “Our investors are all very long-term oriented, they don’t think in quarters, but rather in decades or even centuries,” says Bernhard Matthes, Head of BKC Asset Management. “That is also the benchmark for us.”

The BKC portfolio is accordingly very diversified – in addition to traditional segments such as stocks and bonds, the asset managers also focus on precious metals, alternative investments, commodities and real estate. Capital market experts are optimistic in the short term, especially for gold and silver.
