The BullionGold Facility

IN GOOD TIMES GOLD IS A COMMODITY, IN BAD TIMES GOLD IS A CURRENCY AND WE RE GOING INTO A GENERATIONAL PERIOD OF BAD TIMES HILTON DAVIES, FOUNDER Gold is at the heart of human development. For thousands of years, it has been valued as a global currency, a commodity, an investment and simply an object of beauty. We see gold as the ultimate hard currency in the bad times. The bad times is a period of severe credit contraction following an enormous credit expansion where solvency becomes the key issue. In such times asset prices, banking systems and government finances come under pressure and this ultimately results in deteriorating currencies. As a consequence, people are once again waking up to the power of gold.

THE CASE FOR GOLD INVESTMENT QUALITIES GOLD AND RISK GOLD AS CURRENCY Inflation Hedge Market cycles come and go, but over the long term through both inflationary and deflationary periods, Gold has consistently maintained its purchasing power. Portfolio Diversification While gold has shown strong returns over recent years, its most valuable contribution to a portfolio lies in the fact that is not correlated with most other assets. Currency on the ascendancy Gold provides investors with good protection against the depreciation in a currency s value, both internally (ie. against inflation), and externally (against other currencies). Credit Risk Credit risk is the risk that a debtor will not pay. Gold is unique in that it does not carry credit risk. Gold is no one s liability. Market Risk All assets are affected by prevailing economic and financial conditions that create price changes. This is referred to as market risk. Gold is positioned to benefit from the prevailing market risks. Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that a seller is unable to find a buyer to enter into a trade. The gold market is deep and is one of the most liquid markets in the world. Solvency Risk Physical gold cannot go broke. When owned directly, it is not exposed to any counterparty risk and is an intrinsic store of value. When does Gold Qualify as Currency? When it is: Physical Gold Bullion Valued only for its Gold Content Owned outright without an intermediating financial instrument Deemed legal tender and therefore attracts no VAT Fully underwritten by the Central Bank When physical delivery to the owner is a fully guaranteed right THE KRUGERRAND IS THE MOST CIRCULATED GOLD COIN IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.
