Why does BFI offer precious metals?
BFI Wealth Management Inc. is a portfolio management firm, not a precious metals dealer. You may wonder: Why does BFI have a complete section on precious metals on their website? Why does BFI offer services related to precious metals and physical storage of gold, silver, platinum and palladium? The answer is straight-forward: We offer access to such programs BECAUSE we are portfolio managers. And it is because we are independent and fee-only portfolio managers.
Yes, gold and other precious metals have been shunned as investments by the mainstream financial services arena for years. There is much more money for banks and brokers to be made with stocks, bonds and structured products. Precious metals, particularly gold, are acquired and stored for years. No turnover, no interest...
We take a different position: Based on our Big Picture views, we know that EVERYONE should have a minimum allocation in precious metals. Most of all, we are convinced that in face of intrinsic flaws in fiat currency systems and decades of soft monetary policies, it is a must to keep a nest-egg of physical gold in a secure location. History testifies to the fact that gold is the only true store of value. And, having PHYSICAL gold stored in a safe storage facility within a safe jurisdiction is not an option but a mandatory element of any solid wealth management plan.
Why physical?
There are manifold ways of acquiring, keeping and selling precious metals. Today, particularly since we are in the midst of a bull market in precious metals and commodities, a multitude of programs are being created, even by mainstream institutions. However, the majority of these programs - ETFs, metal accounts, certificates etc. - do not provide for PHYSICALLY ALLOCATED, GUARANTEED STORAGE.
Such programs may be fine for certain kinds of actively managed mandates, where more frequent buying and selling of precious metals is part of the strategy. But they are not the right option for a "NESTEGG" allocation or for medium to long-term trend allocations. Several issues, such as government confiscation, geo-political risk management, bull market price peaks, make it a necessity to hold precious metals in physical allocated format.
