Financial Safe Haven assets

Financial safe haven assets are investments that tend to retain or increase in value during times of market volatility or economic uncertainty. Examples include gold, U.S. Treasury bonds, and certain currencies like the Swiss franc. Investors turn to these assets when they fear losses in riskier investments, like stocks, to preserve their wealth. Essentially, safe havens act as a protective buffer against financial turmoil, helping to stabilize an investor's portfolio when markets are rocky.
