And they\u2019re not the only ones.

So unlike central banks who are printing money at unprecedented levels, gold&#8217;s supply remains steady.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means gold acts as a rand hedge and is widely recommended as part of a diversified portfolio. It\u2019s one of a handful of investments with a positive return in 2020 &#8211; gold prices are around $1,780 an ounce and have gained 15% so far in 2020 and 34% over the past 12 months.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revix.com\/campaigns\/goldjune?utm_source=Business%20Tech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=PAX%20Gold%20June%2026&amp;utm_content=Link%203\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Invest in gold with Revix<\/b><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sean Sanders, CFA Charterholder and CEO of investment platform <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.revix.com\/campaigns\/goldjune?utm_source=Business%20Tech&amp;utm_medium=Article&amp;utm_campaign=PAX%20Gold%20June%2026&amp;utm_content=Link%204\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><b>Revix<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> added: \u201cThe unprecedented printing of money by governments is why it\u2019s critically important today more than ever to hold inflationary hedges like gold in your investment portfolio.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cInvestments like gold can protect your hard-earned savings at times like these, meaning they will hold their value, or increase in value, rather than lose value like currency does when inflation occurs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sanders continues \u201cWe\u2019ve seen record customer sign-ups over the last few weeks as many of our new clients realise that with no monthly account fees we can offer them substantially lower costs than elsewhere else.
