Discussing your will and understanding how to pass on your gold bullion investment can be hard. But to be able to ensure a healthy, happy future for your grandchildren, is priceless.
Here are some key reasons why you should invest in gold bullion and how it can benefit your family…
It’s a Safe, Shiny Haven
Frequently used in times of turmoil, gold is a safe haven asset. A rainy day failsafe. Gold maintains its value over time and can’t be randomly printed (unlike money) on a whim by banks. Gold can’t be magicked out of thin air and is, therefore, a great store of value. No one can be sure what’s going to happen to gold prices, but the past is a great prediction for the future. At the time of writing (October 2021), in the last 18 years gold has gone up by 489.8%. So if you’ve invested in £4,368 worth of gold when your grandchild was born, it would have made £25,760.28 by the time they turned 18.
There’s No Terrifying Tax
Inheritance tax is bestowed on money, possessions or gifts you leave behind when you pass away. If your estate is worth over £325,000 when you die, your heirs have to pay tax at the rate of 40%. But there’s no inheritance tax when gold is passed on as part of a legacy or given as a gift by blood relatives if it’s 7 years or more before your death. The only time you’re taxed is when you come to sell it when you have to pay Capital Gains tax for any profit you make. Simple.
Gold Bullion Investment is the Gift of Time
Many investments take time and effort to manage – stealing away precious moments you get to spend with your family (the ones who you’re making the money for in the first place). But when you buy gold, there’s no investment to manage. It’s a simple transaction that holds no burden on your life. It sits there, as good as gold, waiting for a time when you might need it. It’s market price may go up and down, but its value is never questioned.
It Only Belongs to You
Buying individual, solid gold bullion means you’re not investing in someone’s company or taking out shares – these bars are solely owned by you. There’s no counterparty risk. And in a world where money’s become a random number on a screen, it’s good to know your wealth can be stored in a safe place, forever.
Bring the Fairytale to Life
Our grandchildren grow up on stories of buried treasure. Flying with Peter Pan and promising gold at the end of the rainbow. By giving them the gift of gold when you pass away, you’re bringing those childhood dreams to life. This is real treasure.
Buy Lucratively Low
Buying gold or silver bullion when its market value is low can reap plenty of rewards down the line. With the unpredictable state of the world as we know it, it’s difficult to say what the future has in store for our grandchildren. So investing in gold, holding it for long to beat inflation and passing on your wealth in bullion coins and bars is a great way to safeguard their financial future.
