Central banks favour gold amid credit crisis |
|
LONDON — Sales of gold by European central banks are likely to be lower than expected over the next year as the global banking crisis boosts bullion's appeal as a “safe” reserve asset. And banks elsewhere in the world, most notably in Asia and the Middle East, may even become buyers of gold in an attempt to diversify their reserves away from the U.S. dollar, analysts say. |

Exchange-traded gold |

Gold-backed securities Gold is traded in the form of securities on stock exchanges in Australia, France, Hong Kong, Japan, Mexico, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. By design, these forms of securitised gold investment, all regulated financial products, are generally referred to as Exchange Traded Commodities or Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), and are expected to track the gold price almost perfectly. Unlike derivative products, the securities are 100% backed by physical gold held mainly in allocated form. These securities have had a major impact on the gold market, representing 38% of identifiable investment and 7.5% of total demand in 2007. Financial advisors and other investment professionals can provide further details about these products. |

Coins and small bars |
||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The first gold coins were struck by King Croesus, ruler of Lydia in western Asia Minor from 560 to 546BC, whose wealth came from the gold from the mines and sands of the River Pactolus. Gold coins have been legal tender ever since. Bullion coins and small bars offer private investors an attractive way of investing in relatively small amounts of gold. In many countries - including the whole of the European Union - gold purchased for investment purposes is exempt from Value Added Tax. |

A number of collective investment vehicles specialise in investing in the shares of gold mining companies. The term "collective investment vehicles" as used here should be taken to include mutual funds, open-ended investment companies (OEICs), closed-end funds, unit trusts, and any similar structures. A wide range of such funds exists and they are domiciled in a number of different countries. These funds are regulated financial products and as such it is not possible here to provide details on any specific funds. |
