YLG Reports Gen Z Flocking to Gold Investment, Partners with TFEX to Launch Mini Gold Online Futures for Younger Investors
Gen Z investors are increasingly turning to gold for security and inflation protection, prompting YLG and TFEX to launch smaller, more affordable futures contracts requiring lower capital investment through a mobile app.
Global research from leading institutions like Bank of America shows that Gen Z and Millennials are investing in gold at significantly higher rates than older generations like Gen X and Baby Boomers. Nearly half of younger investors cite security and tangibility as primary reasons for buying gold, with inflation protection and risk mitigation being key motivations following economic crises and the current cost-of-living crisis.
The appeal of digital assets has indirectly boosted gold demand, as fractional ownership through digital platforms makes gold more accessible. YLG Get Gold allows investors to start with just 100 baht, eliminating travel to physical shops and enabling instant buying and selling through a mobile app.
To meet demand from younger investors, YLG has partnered with TFEX to offer Mini Gold Online Futures contracts that are 10 times smaller than standard contracts. The new contracts represent just 1 troy ounce (approximately 2 baht of gold) compared to the previous 10 troy ounce standard, significantly lowering margin requirements and allowing investors to allocate their portfolios more precisely.
YLG is promoting Mini Gold Online Futures with gold savings rewards up to 600 baht for new customers. New accounts receive 100 baht in gold savings, with an additional 500 baht available upon first investment in Mini Gold Online Futures through the YLG Get Gold app. The promotion runs from May 25 to June 30, 2025, for new customers only. Interested investors can open accounts and download the Get Gold app via QR codes or contact YLG Futures via Line: @ylgfu for more information.
