In these times of increasing instability in global financial markets there is a strong trend of both opening Self Managed Super Funds (SMSF) and holding precious metals (gold and silver) bullion or allowable valuable collectibles within them as part of a more balanced Super portfolio. No one wants to see their lifetime of Super savings evaporate in the next big financial crash. That crash, as they do, will happen without clear warning and could coincide with your pension phase, leaving you with little to draw on. We all vividly recall the anguish on the faces of retirees in coverage of the GFC. Holding hard assets uncorrelated to share markets and even property markets can protect you from that happening. The value of such hard assets will often increase as financial and property assets decrease in value. It’s all about wealth balance and preservation. For instance, in the GFC gold doubled whilst shares halved.

Reserve Vault plays a pivotal role in this. Holding your hard asset and collectibles in an independent high security environment is not only often required for SMSF’s, but addresses both the financial and personal security issues that safes at home or ‘under the bed’ don’t. Add that we can arrange All Risks insurance and Independent Audits at a fraction of what you’d pay for both with home storage and it becomes a very compelling SMSF solution. Bank safe deposit boxes don’t offer either, period.

Like our insurance, our ability to group buy and implement these services means we can offer a highly competitive rate for your independent audit needs.
