Sam's Precious Metals Portfolio

Sam's portfolio leans heavily towards silver and platinum. He still expects gold to keep rising over the next few years, but believes silver and platinum have more room to run from here, and he's comfortable riding out their bigger price swings to capture that upside.

Gold stays in the mix as a small core holding, while silver and platinum do the heavy lifting.

  • 65%Silver
  • 30%Platinum
  • 5%Gold

Why Sam Lawrie Started Liberty Bullion

My name's Sam Lawrie and I founded Liberty Bullion because I'm convinced that gold, silver, and platinum will be the strongest performing assets over the next 5 to 10 years. I've backed that belief by putting my own wealth into precious metals, and I wanted to make it simple for other Australians to do the same.

When you're investing in physical bullion, you need trust, security, convenience, and fair pricing without the runaround.

Those are the values Liberty Bullion was built on.

We're investors ourselves, so we understand what matters when you're making decisions about your wealth. That's why we've built a business we'd want to use.
