WHY INVEST IN GOLD?

“WHERE IS MY MONEY SAFE? – It is a question people have been asking for centuries, yet more and more people are still turning to the oldest answer: GOLD.”

For centuries gold has been seen as a timeless asset and today it remains a world-renowned safe haven with savvy investors understanding the importance of gold in a well-balanced portfolio.

Over the past 20 years we have seen cash lose real value and conventional investments diminish in worth because they are primarily paper assets with no intrinsic value. In contrast tangible assets – like precious metals and numismatic coins – have more than quadrupled in value in the past decade alone.

With a record high consumer demand for the precious metals alongside unprecedented levels of uncertainty across the globe, could this be the time for you to buy physical gold?

DID YOU KNOW?

With confidence in the banking system and worldwide economy at an all-time low, underperforming currency markets, low interest rates, volatile stocks and repeated rounds of printing money; buying gold makes more sense than other assets.

Like for many people, having ultimate control over your money no matter what may be more important than anything. Owning physical gold allows you to have full ownership of your investment, holding your gold at home or in secure storage, instead of trusting third parties and handing your money over to a fund manager, or even leaving it in the bank. As the old saying goes, if you don‘t hold it, you don‘t own it.

WHEN SHOULD I BUY GOLD? WITH BOTH C O N S U M E R S AND CENTRAL BANKS IN MANY OF THE WORLD‘S MOST POWERFUL E C O N O M I E S CURRENTLY BUYING UNPARALLELED AMOUNTS OF THE PRECIOUS METAL, HAS THERE EVER BEEN A BETTER TIME TO BUY GOLD?

If you look at historical data, of course it is easy to pick out great times to have bought and have held gold bullion before any big rises in price, 2005/06 at £250/ oz for example. The UK banking crisis in 2007/08 again offered another opportunity to jump into the gold market when the price was standing around £350/oz. Investors who followed the early signs

have since seen their gold investment flourish with the gold price more than doubling in the last decade.

This leads to the question; is it too late to buy gold?

Or, how much longer can the gold price continue to rise? Unfortunately, there‘s no exact science to knowing when to buy gold, but there are lots of effective and timeless techniques and indicators that the most successful investors use to help them.

Perhaps the least technical but most important factor of all, is that considering there is only a limited amount of the yellow metal available in the entire world, and a forever growing demand from an endlessly growing population, it is important to recognize that gold is on a long term upward trend where prices have been increasing almost

month on month for years.

As a general rule of thumb gold is in higher demand during uncertain times. When other investments such as property and stocks are underperforming, the price of gold and silver rise as major investors and companies use gold as an insurance policy to cover losses accumulated elsewhere. Keep an eye out for any major news from institutions such as Governments, banks and stock exchanges, particularly those of influential economies like the US, China and the Eurozone. Any negative economic and political messages especially relating to currency, stocks, debt, property and quantitative easing can cause unrest and give reason for savers and investors to store their wealth in gold.

BARS V COINS Whether you’re new to bullion investment or not, deciding whether to invest in bullion bars or bullion coins should take some consideration.

As with any other investment, there are a several factors to consider, including the value of your investment, how long you plan on keeping it, where to store it, capital gains tax (CGT) and how you plan on releasing the value of your investment.

The most effective way to keep premiums low is buying bars 1oz and above.

However bars not only attract capital gains tax, the larger unit size bars offer a lack of flexibility on the resale too, not necessarily representing the best value when it comes to selling your gold or silver at a later date. Smaller unit gold bars do offer greater flexibility at resale. .

Better still, bullion coins represent even greater flexibility and are a very popular option for new and experienced investors alike, particularly those who anticipate selling part of their bullion at some time in the future. Although all investment gold is VAT free, the attractive benefit of bullion coins over bars for many investors is the additional CGT free status of British bullion coins due to being legal tender.

Bullion coins can often demand an additional premium depending on market factors where as bullion bars will only ever be worth the intrinsic value of their metal content.

Therefore if capital growth is a factor in your decision this is worth considering, as coins can provide

far greater returns on investment.

This is particularly the case with graded coins as they are normally far more valuable than ungraded coins, especially unprotected coins vulnerable to the elements or damage.

Most bullion investors with the intention of preserving wealth and making a return on their investment choose to buy tax-free British gold coins that are CGT exempt, however it is important to know where you stand as an investor to make up your own mind.

CERTIFIED COINS AS COIN COLLECTING B E C A M E INCREASINGLY POPULAR DURING THE EARLY 1900’S, THE CONDITION OF A COIN ALONG WITH ITS RARITY, ESSENTIALLY DETERMINED THE COIN’S VALUE, AS IS STILL VERY MUCH THE CASE TODAY AMONG INVESTORS.

The Sheldon scale was developed in 1948 by renowned numismatist, Dr. William Sheldon, assigning grades from 1 through 70 to coins on the theory that a 70 would be worth 70 times as much as a 1.

Once graded, each certified coin is sonically sealed inside a protective, tamper-proof capsule, to preserve its quality.

A special label within the capsule shows the coin‘s certification number, grade, date, denomination, unique bar code and pedigree, if applicable.

The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and the Numismatic Guarantee Corporation (NGC) represent the industry standard in thirdparty coin certification. As the owner of a graded coin from these organisations, you benefit from the corporations guarantee of

authenticity and grade of every coin. By using this universal grading standards you can buy and sell in the market with confidence.

And although ungraded coins can certainly be cheaper, many consider them a riskier investment, as the true value of a coin above its scrap value relies on it being minted through a renowned and established mint along with the condition and rarity of the coin. Having a coin graded correctly, by an established and knowledgeable coin grading service removes any uncertainty of the authenticity and price of your investment.

PRODUCTS We stock a complete range of the worlds most commonly invested coins from internationally trusted mints. All our coins are bullion grade, available at low premiums and ideal for investment. Gold coins and bars are VAT free in the UK, with British coins proving especially popular as they are Capital Gains Tax exempt.
