Many traditional low-risk pensions are not performing how they should - some pension plans aren’t even keeping up with inflation so they’re actually losing money!

You can add gold to your pension pot by converting your existing pension pot or lump sum payment and monthly pension contributions into gold.

Of course, no-one can predict the future, but with the uncertainty in the world today, gold loves a crisis so is set to perform well. Yet even if gold only delivered half the return of the above, it would still significantly outperform the other low-risk pension options highlighted.

Why Gold Backed Pensions may beYour Answer to a Happier Retirement

Gold has a History of Wealth Preservation

Ongoing inflation means that cash becomes less valuable, e.g. £100 just 80 years ago would only be able to buy £1.66 worth of goods and services in 2023.

Gold has a long history of maintaining its value, e.g. 3,000 years ago, 1oz of gold could buy approx. 350 loaves of bread. Now, 1oz of gold can also buy approx. 350 loaves of artisan bread.
