When looking for investment diversification, you can't beat gold bullion. Entire countries have been purchasing gold in huge quantities and hold massive reserves. Countries like those that are part of the BRICs (Brazil, Russia, India, China and including South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Indonesia, Iran and the United Arab Emirates), have been heavily stockpiling gold. There are many reasons why they should, but a determining factor will be less reliance on the Dollar, they may even be able to back their own BRICs currency on the amount of gold they hold. So it would make sense then for the everyday investor to include gold as part of their wealth portfolio. It's intrinsic value, liquidity, and outlook are all major factors in its popularity. And ideally we should all hold some form of physical wealth away from banking institutions, and third party involvement. No better way than to own your very own bullion. It doesn't have to be kilos either. The best way for British Nationals to invest in gold is to buy Britannia coins. Full Brits are 1 troy ounce of fine gold (31.1035g). they're CGT exempt, fully liquid and easily stored. One single coin today would cost around £2270.00. They are also available as half, quarter and 10th of an ounce. However the smallest spread will be on the full pounce coin. Britannia's are recognised as a global standard in bullion security. As we have spoken about in a previous post, the coins include four revolutionary security elements that were incorporated into the coins production in 2021. These measures decrease the chances of counterfeiting, making the coins visually verifiable. Alongside Philip Nathan's depiction of Britannia, these coins are amongst the most secure and aesthetically pleasing in the world.
