Capital Gold Group Inc. is providing financial advisors with physical gold to enable them to offer it directly to their clients.

The company, which specializes in gold investment strategies, has launched its new 'Gold Affiliate Program' to provide people with the opportunity to buy gold bullion.

The initiative is the brainchild of chief executive officer Jonathan Rose, who explained that gold is still a sound long-term investment and hedge against inflation.

He said: "Physical gold is the 'missing link' in most portfolios today. Every investor needs gold as portfolio insurance, and we know financial advisors have been looking for a way to include physical gold as an asset allocation strategy in their clients' long-term financial planning."

The World Gold Council (WGC) claims that since 2001 a number of economic factors have combined to lead to demand for gold investment increasing by 300 per cent.

Mr. Rose's sentiments were echoed by Graham Birch, manager of the respected BlackRock Merrill Lynch Gold and General Fund, who added: "Gold has a long history of providing a hedge against inflation, the weak US dollar and geopolitical tension, and has solid value as a long-term investment."
