Platinum is one of the rarest precious metals in the world—significantly rarer than Gold. In fact, all the Platinum ever mined would fit into a cube measuring just over 21 feet on each side, while gold’s cube would be more than four times that size. Annual platinum production is typically less than 200 tonnes, compared to over 3,000 tonnes of gold mined each year. This extreme scarcity contributes to Platinum’s high value and appeal among investors seeking to diversify their precious metals portfolio with a truly limited asset

Beyond its rarity, Platinum is geographically concentrated—over 70% of the world’s supply comes from South Africa alone. This dependence on a single region adds a layer of geopolitical risk that can influence prices more sharply than gold. While gold has long been considered the traditional store of value, platinum’s rarity and critical industrial use—especially in automotive and green technologies—make it a compelling choice for those looking for both long-term security and potential price upside
