Gold has a global spot price – an agreed current worldwide value – which means it is readily available and easy to buy and sell at any time.

As gold holds its value, many consider it a ‘safe haven’ asset. Usually performing well when riskier stocks fall, it helps to create a diverse and more stable investment portfolio.

Why Bullion?

Tax Advantages image

Tax Advantages

Gold bullion coins and bars are exempt from Value Added Tax (VAT) and gold bullion coins are also exempt from Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for UK residents.
