PRECIOUS METAL SPECTRUM

In our previous statements, we presented essential information and special features of the diamond spectrum. Many of the positions named

therein also apply to the gold spectrum.

For investors who value security and protection against inflation, there is no way around adding physical gold.

The oldest documented find of gold jewelry (4,600 BC) impressively proves that gold has exercised an unbroken fascination on us humans since

the beginning of the earliest civilisations. Gold, with its incomparable brilliance, impressive weight and warm appearance, has lost none of its

fascination in the present - quite the opposite.

For over 3,000 years, gold has been used worldwide as a store of value. As the only currency that has existed since then, gold has been able to

withstand all crises, is not affected by inflationary monetary policy and cannot be reproduced at will. The precious metal gold has always held a

special fascination for people. It was one of the first metals to be worked by humans, and it has been of particular value since prehistory.

Investors have been using gold as a financial investment and for value retention for thousands of

years. For this purpose, investors acquire gold bars and gold coins. Gold coins have not only

served as a gold investment for centuries, but they have also been used as a means of payment.

At the same time, it is a rare metal that cannot be produced or multiplied at will. Investments in

gold are therefore considered to be a stable and crisis-proof investment worldwide.

The gold standard was introduced by the Bank of England in 1844. By the gold standard, finance

professionals understand that a unit of currency is equal to a legally stipulated amount of gold.

The corresponding amount of gold is given as a weight, either in grams or in ounces.
