Alternative investments seminar

Thursday 12 June 2014

A seminar focusing on ways to diversify investment portfolios with precious metals, UK buy-to-let property and rare stamps and coins, is being held next week.

A panel comprising Nigel Pascoe Director of Lending with Skipton International and Keith Heddle, Group Investment Director at Stanley Gibbons will join Alasdair Macleod, GoldMoney’s Head of Research to discuss alternative investments at The Grand Hotel on Wednesday 18 June. Registration is from 4.30 pm with the seminar taking place between 5 pm and 7 pm.

The event will be hosted by GoldMoney Director, Natasha Le Dain-Cyples and moderated by former broadcaster, Gwyn Garfield-Bennett.

Mrs Le Dain-Cyples said: “Property, gold and stamps and coins have a long track record when it comes to investment returns. Our panel of experts will be looking at the current and past performance of these assets, who these opportunities might be right for and how private investors and intermediaries can take advantage of them.”Stanley Gibbons has been serving collectors in the UK since 1856 and is the market leader in stamp collecting.  The Jersey-based company set up a designated Investment Department in 2003 to cope with increased demand for rare collectibles as a mainstream investment option.

Skipton International is a Channel Islands’ bank, and one of the leading mortgage lenders in the Island. It has developed a UK residential buy-to-let product specifically to enable Islanders to be able to look outside of the limited housing supply in the Channel Islands for investment.

GoldMoney is one of the world’s leading online precious metals traders with secure partner vaults in five locations around the world.  Gold has recently been included among the list of approved investments for certain types of tax efficient pension schemes in Jersey.
