Starting Your Antam Gold Investment: 4 Essential Tips for Beginners

April 12, 2025 | 09:44 am

TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Antam Precious Metal Gold Boutique in the Antam Building, TB Simatupang Street, South Jakarta, was crowded with prospective buyers on Friday, April 11, 2025.

Quoting Antara,  the store started receiving visitors as early as 04:30 AM, with only 50 customers allowed in each day due to the queue limit.

Several customers at the boutique shared that they chose gold as an investment due to its perceived high profitability. So, what are the tips for beginners looking to invest in Antam gold?

1. Determine Investment Goals

Before investing in gold, including Antam gold, it's important to define your goals. Are you buying gold to fund education, build a house, or for another purpose?

Having specific goals helps you determine the expected return and investment duration. It also makes it easier to consistently allocate funds for purchasing Antam gold, such as making monthly contributions.

2. Keep Track of Gold Prices

Gold prices are highly volatile. They can spike one day and drop the next. That’s why it's essential to monitor current prices and recent trends, at least over the past month.

By staying informed, you can spot ideal times to buy when prices dip. Fortunately, you don’t need to visit Antam stores in person. Real-time gold prices are available online through the official Antam website or various investment apps, making it easier to make informed and timely investment decisions.

3. Don't Panic When Prices Fall

For beginner investors with a conservative risk profile or those opting for low-risk investments like gold, short-term price declines do not need to trigger excessive panic.

When the gold prices seem much lower than when purchased, it's important not to immediately feel excessively worried.

Instead, avoid hasty decisions to sell gold assets just because of short-term price declines. When reviewing the gold price development chart over time, a consistent upward trend will be apparent in the long run. Today's price drop could be a temporary market correction.

Gold prices have soared significantly, even reaching Rp1 million per gram in the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic. Fluctuations like these are a natural part of commodity market dynamics.

Today's decline often can be followed by a recovery or even a higher price increase in the future. Therefore, a long-term perspective and understanding of historical trends are crucial in gold investment.

4. Regularly Purchase Gold

As a strategy to mitigate the risk of gold price fluctuations and to help reach the investment objectives set at the beginning, consider making gold purchases regularly. By implementing a periodic purchase strategy, you effectively obtain the average gold purchase price over time.

When gold prices are high, you’ll receive less gold for the same amount of money. On the other hand, when prices are low, you'll acquire more gold. This approach helps minimize the impact of buying during price peaks and may lead to more stable long-term returns.
