               Precious metal range (diamonds & gold)


               In our previous statements we have presented essential information as well as special features regarding
               the range of diamonds. Many of the positions named therein apply likewise to the gold range.


               At this point we would, however, like to emphasize that our company in the field of precious metals treats
               the range of diamonds with priority, however in a precious metal portfolio the gold range also represents
               a substantial percentage part for us.


               For investors, who attach importance  to safety and the protection against inflation, there is  no  way to
               avoid adding physical gold.


               The oldest documented finding of gold jewellers (4,600 B.C.) impressively proves that gold since the start
               of the earliest civilizations already has to date had an uninterrupted fascination on us people. Even today,

               gold, with its incomparable shine, its impressive weight and its warm feel, has lost none of its fascination -
               quite the opposite.


               For more than 3,000 years gold has been used as a means of storing value worldwide. As the  only

               monetary policies and cannot be reproduced at liberty.


               The precious metal gold has always exercised a special fascination on people. It concerned one of the first
               metals, which was processed by people and it represented a special value in early history already.


               Investors have been using gold as monetary investment and the retention of value for thousands of years.

               a gold investment, but they were also used as a means of payment.

               Gold is particularly highly suitable as a means of payment, because the precious metal is very robust. At

               the same time it is a rare metal, which cannot be produced or increased at liberty. Therefore, investments
               in gold are deemed a stable value and crisis-resistant monetary investment worldwide.


               In 1844 the gold standard was introduced by the Bank of England. Under the gold standard the financial
