Recently, the price of gold has been hovering near record highs at over NZ$5000 an ounce - that’s less than 30 grams for those of us only versed in the metric system!

It’s commonly thought of as a ‘safe haven’ asset, but why is that? How does it help your investments when the world is an uncertain place? How do you make money out of it? How do you own it? And does your jewellery count.

To help us answer those questions, today Nadine is joined by two guests. First, Mark Lister, investment director at Craigs Investment Partners to discuss why people are buying gold And then she talks to financial advisor Louis Boulanger, on the practicalities of owning gold.
