Strategies for Investors to Lock in Gold and Silver Gains Without Higher Taxes

Investors with gains in gold or silver can use tax strategies to lock in profits without increasing their tax burden. Gold and silver ETFs qualify for long-term capital gains tax after 12 months, while fund-of-funds require 24 months. Strategies include offsetting gains with losses from other assets, using carry-forward losses from previous years, and staggering redemptions across financial years to manage taxable income effectively.
