STRONG LONG-TERM RETURNS
equity markets. Gold has delivered strong long-term returns to investors, appreciating in value
from under AUD 450/oz in the early 2000s to more than AUD 1,800/oz by the
end of 2018, a gain of over 7.5% per annum. Since 1971, the price of gold has
appreciated by an average of almost 9% per annum.
A CASH ALTERNATIVE IN LOW REAL INTEREST RATE ENVIRONMENTS
Gold prices have historically performed particularly well when real cash rates
(which take inflation into account) are 2% or lower, often outperforming stocks
and bonds in such environments.
A TRUSTED HEDGE AGAINST FALLING STOCK PRICES
Gold has historically performed extremely well when equity markets have suffered
their sharpest falls, helping protect investors from losses in the stock market. For
example, in the five worst calendar years for equity markets since the start of the
1970s, gold prices rallied by almost 40% per annum.
CURRENCY DIVERSIFICATION
As gold is priced in USD it provides a simple means of obtaining currency
diversification within a portfolio and protects against a decline in the value of the AUD.
SIMPLICITY AND SECURITY
Gold is incredibly easy to buy. You can purchase exchange traded products, such
as Perth Mint Gold which is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX
code: PMGOLD), via your share trading account. Another popular method is to
open a Perth Mint depository account through which you can buy and sell gold
securely stored in our vaults.
Additionally, we offer the GoldPass® smartphone app or even our New York
Stock Exchange listed gold shares (NYSE code: AAAU). AAAU shares are backed by
physical gold stored with The Perth Mint, with the shares available through your
stock broker or usual share trading facility.
