Wealth Preservation

Gold is the ultimate form of wealth preservation. Throughout history gold is the only currency that has survived in its original form. All paper money systems in history have been printed away until the money becomes worthless. Already in 1729 Voltaire said: “Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value –ZERO”

There are many ways to invest in gold but none of the following fulfil our strict criteria of gold ownership based on the most stringent wealth preservation principles:

  • Exchange Traded Funds – An investment in a gold ETF in is merely a piece of paper. Some of the biggest ETF’s are not even by backed by physical gold. It is not your personal gold and you have no access to the gold in case of a problem in the financial system.
  • Futures, Unallocated Gold – These instruments are just paper gold and offer no real wealth protection.
  • Allocated Gold – To have allocated gold in a bank means that you have specific bars that belong to you as long as the bank has an adequate stock and control system. However, you have no access to your gold and if the bank closes for whatever reason (bankruptcy, systemic failure, long bank holiday for restructuring the financial system) you cannot use your own gold.
  • Bank Safe Deposit Box – As with allocated gold, you might not have access for a long time if the bank closes. Also, It is very difficult and costly to insure your gold.
  • Storing gold at home – We consider this to be very high risk. Crime is increasing and will increase even further as the economy deteriorates. It is also very difficult to keep it a secret since most people will talk about their gold
  • Part ownership in gold bars stored in bullion vaults – There are specialised companies where you can buy your own gold. But you actually don’t own your own bars but own a share in the total gold inventory of the company. You don’t have access to your gold and since you don’t own your own gold bars you cannot get hold of your gold in case of an emergency.

PAPER MONEY
"Paper money eventually returns to its intrinsic value - ZERO"
Voltaire 1729

“We understand Gold”
In 2002 GoldSwitzerland advised its clients to invest up to 50% of liquid assets into Gold. Since that time Gold has appreciated over 300% depending on currency. In our opinion the big move has still to come.
