My Dad should have retired last year…

Sadly, the stock market had other plans for him. His pension fund dropped so severely that he simply could not afford to retire.

So my poor old Dad is still working 6 days a week selling finance for BMW. Not the easiest job in the current economic climate.

He supplements his income by playing guitar in his local pub every Saturday, which pays for what he calls his “beer money”.

My Dad is not alone…

The problem with pensions is that your contributions don’t guarantee a future comfortable retirement (unless you are one of the lucky few still in a defined benefit scheme).

Most of us are at the mercy of how the stock market is doing at the date we retire. In other words, the quality of our retirement is down to pure luck!

Pension funds have some good years and some bad. They go with the flow of the economic fear/greed cycle. In recent years, those reaching retirement age have learned an important lesson, (but sadly, too late).

Pension funds don’t really get TRUE diversification. You certainly won’t find any pension fund invested in collectables.

Our new investment service – “Portfolio Builder” gives you the opportunity to diversify part of your retirement fund planning into rare stamps – an asset that has not gone down in value in the past 50 years.

Introducing the Stanley Gibbons “Portfolio Builder” Service

Our new service is ideal for investors looking to diversify part of their pension plans into a non-correlated asset class to avoid the systematic pressures prevalent within traditional investments such as equities and property.

We will work with you to build a valuable rare stamp collection over time with long-term investment potential.

With easily manageable monthly or quarterly contributions to your rare stamp investment portfolio, you can build a long term investment as part of a well balanced retirement plan.

For as little as an up-front investment of £1,000 followed by monthly direct debits of at least £100 (or a quarterly direct debit of £300), you can protect part of your capital today with an investment in the rare stamp market.

Rare stamps have increased in value by 10% per annum on a compound basis over the past 50 years. Show me a pension fund that has delivered that sort of return.

Furthermore, there is no tie in period. You have absolute flexibility to buy and sell at any time to achieve your investment objectives.

We will help you to select the right items of the best quality for investment purposes to increase your overall returns in the market.

There is no limit to how much you can invest. The higher your monthly direct debit contributions, the quicker you will build a rare stamp investment portfolio of significant value.

Unfortunately, the UK government won’t let you put rare stamps into your SIPP (Self Invested Pension Plan). They nearly did, but changed their mind.

That you will enjoy though is tax-free gains on exit (I’ll tell you more abou this shortly).

How This Can Work For You

Fact: rare stamps increased in value on average by 10% per annum on a compound basis over the past 50 years. The key word here is “compound”. The benefits of compounding a return of 10% per annum are truly astounding. Ask Warren Buffet, the world’s greatest investor, if you don’t believe me.

Let’s look at what this means in practice…

With an initial investment of £1,000 followed by monthly contributions of £100, you can turn contributions of £37,000 into an investment portfolio worth £215,000 in 30 years time.

I’m not suggesting you should put your entire retirement plan into rare stamps (although this might not necessarily be a bad idea). What I am suggesting is that anyone sensibly looking to protect some of their capital from the vagaries of the stock market and economic cycles should seriously consider putting an element of their pension contributions into a non-correlated asset.

We are living through the proof of the non-correlation benefits of rare stamps right now, which continue to rise in value during the current recession.

Manage Your Tax Liability

Because rare stamps are a tangible asset, investment returns are treated as a capital gain for tax purposes. The current rate of Capital Gains Tax in the UK is 18%. The first £10,100 of capital gains in any tax year is exempt, and therefore tax-free.

One of the key benefits of the Portfolio Builder service is that you can choose to sell a part of your collection at any time. This provides you with the flexibility to manage your tax liabilities by selling a part of your portfolio up to the tax-free threshold each year (or £10,100 per annum).

Furthermore, with a joint investment with your spouse you can double the value of this tax exemption giving you the opportunity to create tax-free gains each year of £20,100.
