Buying gold in Switzerland

[Omainec]

Let's see what SNB is doing today, but with all that talk about negative interest rates again, I'm finally starting to consider a reasonable allocation in physical gold. What is the best way to do this in Switzerland? Any tips appreciated.

Hi,

Why not invest in stocks instead of using physical gold?

For gold, my preference is going through philoro. I have used it to buy a few coins in the past and will probably do it again if gold goes back to a decent price.

Thanks. I have a tiny bit in a Gold ETF on IBKR already ... but for additional "worst case " insurance I was thinking about getting a bit physical gold, more so as I am renting a secure box in a bank already.
