LONDON, 24 November 2016 – BullionVault user Chris Hall today explains why he owns gold, and how it fits into his wider savings plans, in an article exclusive to investment-rating specialists Morningstar.
"Despite working for 40 years with government and blue-chip companies, retirement at 60 will mean a 30% drop in my income," Chris says.
Investing in gold over the last decade has built sizeable gains – money he plans to use during retirement, because "We enjoy a good lifestyle currently, with plenty of travel. A drop in income will impact these luxuries at the very time when we will have the free time to enjoy them."
Instead of using exchange-traded tracker funds, "I invest directly through companies like BullionVault," Chris says. "They have made it easier and more cost effective for investors like me to buy gold and other metals directly."
