- (1888PressRelease) October 04, 2013 - Gibbons Ltd., the world's oldest and largest dealer in rare stamps (established in 1856), has named Assets Strategies (ASI), a leader in precious metals, foreign currency and tangible assets, its exclusive North American representative.
"We wanted to match our vision of making rare stamp asset protection transparent and available to all clients by aligning with another innovative, like-minded company. Asset Strategies International is perfect as our North American representative," says Geoff Anandappa, Stanley Gibbons' Director of Investment Management.
"Stanley Gibbons is an innovator in the field of rare stamp portfolio diversification with its GB30 and GB 250 Rarities Index, the only investment indices measuring the performance of rare stamps. The indices, listed on Bloomberg Professional service since 2008, are a reliable indicator of the strength of the rare stamps market."
Over the past 6 years the GB30 (GB250?) Rarities Index rose by 73.89%. The compound return of the index since inception on December 31, 1998, is 333.2%. This equates to an average annual compound return of 10.27%.
Both ASI and Stanley Gibbons have broken barriers to asset protection in rare tangible assets.
ASI is an innovator in the field of precious metals for thirty years, and was instrumental in the development of the Perth Mint Certificate, "Gold You Can Fold," a negotiable precious metals certificate backed by the AAA-rated government of Western Australia. In 2011, ASI launched ASI Precious Metals Direct, the first online trading platform for buying gold, silver, platinum and palladium in bullion coins and bars. In March of 2013, through ASI Precious Metals Direct, precious metals IRA's were streamlined with an efficient online process as well.
"Today's North American investor recognizes the urgent need to diversify into other currencies and tangible assets as a protection against the debasement of the U.S. dollar, and the failure of securities to protect even a diversified portfolio. We at ASI have offered alternative options for over three decades, and we are thrilled to offer Stanley Gibbons' rare stamps to our clients," says ASI President and CEO, Michael Checkan.
Clients can begin their portfolio with as little as $15,000 (approximately £10,000). Regardless of portfolio size, the Stanley Gibbons selection is usually between five and six stamps, stored free of charge in their vaults. There is a buyback program as well as an auction and sale program.
ASI has knowledgeable representatives available for consultation at 877-340-2247. ASI does not pay commissions to its sales force. All representatives are professionals there to give guidance in conjunction with Geoff Anandappa, who will oversee all portfolios.
