If World War III breaks out, what assets will be the most valuable and safe?
If World War III breaks out, the global economy and financial system will be severely impacted. In such an extreme situation, traditional asset preservation methods may fail, so investors need to consider assets that can maintain relative safety and value in turmoil. The following are several types of assets that may be considered the most valuable and safe under extreme geopolitical and economic uncertainty:

• Gold is a recognized “safe haven asset” throughout history because it generally maintains or increases its value during wars and global crises. Gold does not rely on the stability of any government or monetary system and has intrinsic value, so it is often a safe haven for wealth when monetary systems collapse or inflation gets out of control.
