Turn cash into Gold

TRY AND PROTECT YOUR CASH FROM THE RAVAGES OF INFLATION

The Gold price has increased by OVER 10.6% on average per year since 2000 in GBP (that’s an average ANNUAL increase of over 10.6% for MORE than 25 years!).

That’s a LOT higher than inflation

Gold is incredibly liquid, you can often sell it and get cash into your bank account in a few days. With inflation eating into your cash, it might make sense to buy some gold.

I know that with cash you’ve got the CERTAINTY as to how much you’ll have, but with increasing inflation you’ve NO LONGER got the CERTAINTY of what you can do with it! YOUR purchasing power is being eroded.

You DON’T need to take delivery or insure it yourself - you can avoid that stress. Have it stored and insured AWAY from your home.

Do you have any in your portfolio?

Why turn your cash into Gold?

  • Gold is very liquid

  • It’s got a strong track record (its been around for thousands of years and the gold price has grown by an average of 10.9% per year since 2000)

  • Gives you some diversification - you’re not ALL about the currency

  • Tangibility - you can’t print it!

  • Wealth preservation (try and protect against inflation decimating your savings. 10.6% is a lot higher than inflation)

  • Tax exemptions (British-minted gold coins are CGT-exempt (as at 28th January 2025))

  • Privacy (a private, solely owned asset that sits outside the system with no counterparty risk)

  • Security

  • You DON’T have to take delivery of your gold - companies can store and insure it for you.

  • It could be a great way to build your pension pot - something nice and liquid if you need some cash when you retire

Buying physical gold graph

In 1920, It took 8.7 gold kilos to buy an average home.
Now, in 2025, just 4 kilos.

I was shocked by the maths:

  • 1920: New home: $6,300, Gold: $20.67/oz.

  • 2025: New home: $450,000, Gold: $3,225/oz.
