Why to buy gold?

 

  • Security

    Gold over the centuries has proven to be a stable investment. Deposits and reserves are limited and contrary to currencies can not be increased unlimited.
  • Independence

    Gold is independent from governments and currencies. Its value is solely defined by the relation between supply and demand and can be traded worldwide on a 24 hours basis.
  • Gold reserves

    Many experts recommend to keep 10-15% of a total portfolio into gold following also the investment strategy of a lot of Central Banks.
  • Liquidity

    Gold = money. Whoever owns gold has money. Gold is the most international of all currencies and can be sold at any time everywhere.
  • Stability

    Gold is a refuge of stability and suits as a hedge against inflation.
  • Value added tax

    Since 1993 the purchase of goldbars in Germany is tax-free, as well as in many other countries.
  • Supply and demand

    The gap between mine production and fabrication as well as for investment demand has been closed by central bank sales in recent years. 
    This stocks however are not limited.
  • Price development

    The gold price has been rising continously since 1999 and moves to its all-time high of 850 US$/troz in 1980 (as per November 2007).
