Figures from leading financial investment experts, Gold & Silver Investments, have revealed that silver is bucking the economic trend and continuing to rise in value, outperforming other assets and equity markets over the medium term (2 to 10 years).
The award winning financial services advisors, who specialise in wealth preservation, are suggesting silver as a safe investment, noting a huge increase in the value of the precious metal.Unlike other financial investments, which have been badly hit by the financial crisis, since the start of the credit crunch and the collapse of Bear Stearns, silver has risen by more than 20%. So far in 2009, silver in sterling terms (local currency terms) is up by nearly 20% (See Performance Table).
Mark O’Byrne, Executive Director and Senior Analyst at Gold & Silver Investments, said, “Silver is one of the few asset classes to rise since the start of the credit crunch and one of the few assets to have increased so far this year. Indeed it is has even out performed its precious metal and safe haven sister - gold.”
“Despite the carnage in equity, commodity and property markets, internationally silver has outperformed nearly all commodities, all indices and most asset classes in 2008 in all major currencies, including the strongest currency in the world – the US dollar.”
While investing in silver bullion of course carries risk, financial investment of any type is about the diversification and management of this risk, i.e. not putting all your eggs in one basket. A healthy investment portfolio will include a wide range of assets; as as we know markets and can and do fluctuate hugely and that is why an allocation to precious metals is important in these times.
Gold & Silver Investments provide bespoke strategies and advice for wealth preservation and their website offers a great range of advice and information on investing in gold.
