Select Your Gold

Choosing the right form of gold is a critical step in aligning your investment with your financial goals. Eona offers a streamlined selection process that balances flexibility, transparency, and long-term value.

When investing in gold, you're not just buying a metal — you're choosing a format, a storage method, and a long-term strategy. Whether you're looking to start small or move significant capital, the form and size of your gold holdings matter. Eona makes this decision simple and transparent by offering only allocated, investment-grade gold in practical formats — without retail markups or complexity.

Why the Format of Gold Matters
Physical gold comes in many forms: coins, jewelry, pooled accounts, or bars. Most come with trade-offs.
Coins carry high premiums. Jewelry isn’t investment-grade. Pooled accounts introduce counterparty risk.
That’s why Eona focuses exclusively on allocated gold bars — the global institutional standard.

Bars, especially in gram or ounce denominations, are easier to price, store, and resell. They’re recognized worldwide, tamper-evident, and free from collector markups.

Start with Your Intent
Before selecting a size or weight, ask:

  • Are you building a long-term hedge against inflation?
  • Do you plan to grow holdings steadily over time?
  • Is flexibility or liquidity more important right now?

These questions help shape your ideal entry point. Eona supports strategies for both first-time investors and seasoned allocators — from as little as 1 gram to several kilograms.

Available Gold Sizes on Eona
Eona offers gold bars starting from 1g, 5g, 10g, 50g, up to 1kg — all investment-grade, ethically sourced, and stored under your name in your chosen vault. Each bar is:

  • Fully allocated
  • Traceable and serialized
  • Vaulted in Zurich, Dubai, or Singapore
  • Independently audited and insured

The smaller bars (1g–10g) offer maximum flexibility, ideal for entry-level investors or regular monthly contributions. Larger bars (100g–1kg) offer better value per gram and are preferred by institutions or individuals making lump-sum allocations.

Optimizing for Cost and Liquidity
Premiums per gram decrease as bar size increases — but so does the cost of liquidity.
If you anticipate needing partial access or flexibility, smaller denominations make more sense.
If your priority is cost-efficiency and long-term storage, larger bars are better.

With Eona, switching between denominations later is easy: you can sell, buy, or rebalance as your strategy evolves.

Common questions

  • If you're just starting, consider 1g to 10g bars. They offer flexibility, lower risk, and make it easy to build your position over time.
