CRYPTOCURRENCY

YOUR GATEWAY TO CRYPTOCURRENCY & BEYOND

Growing incredibly in popularity in recent years, cryptocurrencies have become the go-to investment option for many. With an ever-growing selection of cryptocurrencies added to the platform, offering balanced exposure and managed by FinChain's expert investment committee, We present many options for those who wish to trade and invest in the crypto market.

Cryptocurrency markets are decentralised, which means they are not issued or backed by a central authority such as a government. Instead, they run across a network of computers. However, cryptocurrencies can be bought and sold via exchanges and stored in ‘wallets’ . Unlike traditional currencies, cryptocurrencies exist only as a shared digital record of ownership, stored on a blockchain. When a user wants to send cryptocurrency units to another user, they send it to that user’s digital wallet. The transaction isn’t considered final until it has been verified and added to the blockchain through a process called mining. This is also how new cryptocurrency tokens are usually created.

PRECIOUS METALS

HOW YOU CAN INVEST IN GOLD AND SILVER

One of the attractions of gold and silver is that both can be purchased in a variety of investment forms:

  • Physical Metals: Unlike stocks and bonds, gold and silver can be purchased as physical assets, as either bars and coins held as part of a FinChain brokerage account or as American Eagle coins held in a retirement account. The metals would be held by a third-party depository, not FinChain, though investors can take physical delivery if they want to store it themselves.
  • Exchange-Traded Funds: ETFs have become a popular way for investors to gain exposure to gold and silver, without having the responsibility of storing a physical asset. You can buy shares and keep them in a traditional brokerage account. The fund’s operator is responsible for handling the costs of holding a physical supply of gold or silver and charging an expense ratio. But investing in an ETF doesn’t give investors access to the underlying metals. Also, some precious-metal ETFs are taxed as collectibles and don’t benefit from lower longterm capital gains rates.
  • Mining Stocks and Funds: Some investors see opportunity in owning shares of companies that mine for gold and silver, or mutual funds that hold portfolios of these miners.

Connect with your FinChain Advisor to determine how adding gold or silver to your portfolio might help you achieve your long-term financial goals.

GREEN ENERGY

WHAT IS GREEN ENERGY?

Green energy is any energy type that is generated from natural resources, such as sunlight, wind or water. It often comes from renewable energy sources although there are some differences between renewable and green energy, which we will explore, below. The key with these energy resources are that they don’t harm the environment through factors such as releasing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

How Does it Work?

As a source of energy, green energy often comes from renewable energy technologies such as solar energy, wind power, geothermal energy, biomass and hydroelectric power. Each of these technologies works in different ways, whether that is by taking power from the sun, as with solar panels, or using wind turbines or the flow of water to generate energy.

Investing in Green Energy

Renewable energy drew more than $2.6 trillion in investment from 2010 to 2019. Building new wind or solar capacity now costs less than adding the equivalent in coal or gas plants in two-thirds of the world. Investment has pushed solar energy to more than 8% of global generating capacity, and wind to almost 9%.
