The financial safety search
In times of economic turbulence, investors are often in search of safe shelters to safeguard their assets. CaixaBank emphasizes the importance of ‘shelter values’ as a solution to maintain personal wealth.
What are shelter values?
Refugee values are defined as those assets that, in highly volatility in the market, manage to preserve or even increase their value. This feature makes them especially attractive to investors seeking stability during crises.
Key moments to invest
Investing in shelter values is especially appropriate in contexts of financial crisis, uncontrolled inflation or political instability. These scenarios generate an atmosphere of distrust of investors, who tend to seek safer options to protect their money.
Type of shelter values
Precious metals
Gold and silver are the stars between the shelter values. Thanks to their intrinsic value and limited offer, these metals offer robust protection against inflation and market fluctuations.
Stable currencies
Coins such as the American dollar or the Swiss Franc are considered refuges thanks to the strength of their economies. Bet on these currencies can be an effective way to diversify risks.
Public debt
Governmental good countries with high credit qualification, such as the USA or Germany, are presented as safe investments with predictable returns and low risk of non -payment.
Art as an active shelter
Rename work can function as shelter values, although their liquidity is lower than other assets. However, its value tends to increase over time.
Investment benefits in shelter values
CaixaBank emphasizes that investment in shelter values not only protects capital, but also helps build a more balanced investment portfolio. These assets may be essential to minimize risks in an uncertain economic environment.
The incorporation of shelter values can provide a safety network, as precious metals, for example, are usually maintained or increased in inflammation periods.
