Tax Free
Bullion coins that are considered legal tender in the UK are both VAT and CGT-free. This means you can make an unlimited tax-free profit on investments of any size on all British legal currency coins. This makes it one of the last tax-free forms of investment left in the U.K. today.
Private
Gold collections are considered private, meaning that unlike equities, cars, or properties there is no legal requirement to register or transfer ownership when gifted. Buying and investing in gold can therefore be a practical way of transferring wealth to loved ones, particularly after death.
Capital Growth
For investors seeking to maximise returns over the long term, gold is extremely attractive given this track record. Between 2000-2023 the gold price has increased over 800% with average annual returns of 10.4%. In times of economic crisis, it can also increase dramatically in the short term too. Prior to Lehman’s collapse it returned over 40% between September 2007 and July 2008.
Succession & Inheritance Planning
An inheritance of gold serves to indicate a legacy of sound financial management in addition to mere material wealth. When gold is received by beneficiaries from a previous generation, they frequently experience a sense of stewardship that encourages them to increase and maintain their legacy, even planning to pass it on to their own family. This reliably ensures the continuity of your legacy through time.
Insurance Against Inflation
Gold increases in value as the purchasing power of currencies declines. Since 1971, gold has returned a staggering 15% per annum on average when inflation is higher than 3%. As a tangible and finite resource, it maintains its intrinsic worth over time and protects capital from inflation’s erosive effect.
No Counterparty Risk
Owning physical precious metals means you are not dependent on any other party to perform since you maintain direct control over the asset. Its value is therefore not reliant on any company, government, or bank. Gold is immune to insolvency and certainly can’t declare bankruptcy.
Easy to Sell
The universal recognition and demand for physical gold enables its exchange for global currency, commodities, or services. Regardless of where you are in the world, gold is readily convertible to cash, providing investors with flexibility and access to funds when needed.
Effective Diversification
Gold acts as investment insurance. It provides a safeguard that comes into play when other assets within a portfolio falter. When stocks, bonds or real estate fall sharply it tends to rise reducing overall losses and smoothing out your risk/return. Adding 10% of gold to a basic 60:40 portfolio of UK government bonds and stocks nearly halved the losses from the 2008 crash.
