That may surprise you - the fact that rare stamps can be so valuable and such a secure store of wealth.

Stamps are a tangible asset, which means that the moment you take out an investment in rare stamps, coins or manuscripts you become the owner of something physical which is an important piece of history unlike a ‘virtual’ unit trust or share certificate. Stamps are actually the world’s most valuable commodity by weight. By investing in a stamp portfolio you own a real, rare collectible that can be traded on the open market, an asset that is almost completely unaffected by normal market variances and vagaries.

Thrill-seekers need not apply

They are not volatile – yes, you lose the ‘thrill’ of stock-picking and you can’t play the market using your ‘skill’ to monitor rising and falling trends, so thrill seekers need not apply. It is the reliability of rare stamps that provides an anchor for you over the medium to long term if you have neither the time nor the stomach to manage the vagaries of other markets.

Rare stamps have a track record of strength and stability through times of economic and political turbulence. That’s what makes them such an attractive diversification option.

Here are 5 reasons to invest in rare stamps, but to find out more download your free guide today.

1. Stamps are a tangible asset, not correlated with any other asset class so unaffected by standard economic vagaries
2. Rare stamps have been historically very stable, rising in value through two World Wars (diminishing supply), 2 economic crashes and the period of hyper inflation in the 1970s
3. Stamps have actually shown an average annual return of 10% over the last 40 years.
4. Those ‘in the know,’ including the rich and famous have used stamps to protect and grow their wealth for centuries – from the British Royal Family, to the Rothschilds, to Eli Lilly, to Warren Buffet, to Bill Gross of Pimco
5. You will own a valuable asset, rich in history, available to be traded – not a ‘virtual’ unit trust or a share in a company that could be at the mercy of the market, changing consumer trends or poor management decisions.

We are living in a world where you could genuinely lose almost everything you have worked for; many people have. Diversifying into rare stamps and other collectibles could help you anchor part of your portfolio. It can certainly give you the peace of mind of 100% capital security.

The world is uncertain; rare stamps have proved themselves not to be. You can find out why by downloading your free guide.
