For those of you who don't know, Alpari, which is one of the biggest Forex brokers in the world, launched a new service allowing people to invest in gold coins from around the globe. This happened in March 2016. Moreover, Alpari created a standalone brand for that purpose and named it Alpari Gold. The company allows anyone to buy gold coins from more than 40 mints around the globe. Previously, Market Leader wrote about Alpari Gold.
Not so long ago, Alpari Gold managers improved their service by uniting their efforts with NP RTS, which unites over 90 professional participants of various financial markets.
Alpari Gold now belongs to RTS Board
With that being said, Alpari Gold now belongs to the unified information system named RTS Board. The system makes it possible to improve the transparency of any transactions and offers more favorable conditions for buying and selling precious metals (the niche was created in April 2016), including gold coins as investment products.
The system can be used by anyone, including commercial banks, and professional market participants. The very creation of the niche named “Precious Metal Assets” within the scope of RTS Board is said to have come as a response to thousands of market participants trading and investing in precious metals. The founders also believe that the introduction of cutting-edge technologies will make it possible to cut spreads, increase the pricing transparency and market liquidity when it comes to gold coins.
At this point, NPRTS is working on creating a central hub for storing and shipping gold coins. This is definitely going to improve the overall market environment in the niche, not to mention the benefits for all the participants. On top of that this step is also designed to attract new corporate market players and their clients.
As RTS Board makes it possible to quote the pricing of coins and making transactions using an online platform, which also powers RTS Board, this type of investing is likely to become more secure, fast, and convenient for anyone using it, including Alpari Gold clients. At this point, RTS Board offers over 650 coins, issued by dozens of mints from around the world.
New opportunities for investors
According to the CEO of Alpari Gold, the cooperation with NP RTS opens a lot of new opportunities for the increasing amount of Alpari Gold clients. Indeed, the amount of users has been growing ever since the company was launched earlier this year.
Amid today’s financial and economic uncertainty seen around the world, chances are that gold will keep on getting more popular as an investment solution and a safe-haven asset to save money from the negative impact of financial crises. For many people acting as retail investors, buying gold coins is one of the most convenient ways to invest their savings wisely in physical gold. The thing is that the price of cold coins is very close to the spot price of physical gold. Moreover, they are more liquid and affordable than gold bullions, and they are not taxable as well, which is also a huge benefit when it comes to retail small-scale investments. On top of that, a gold coin may well be, say, a nice birthday present since the price is definitely going to increase over time, especially as the current state of affairs in the global economy and financial system leaves much to be desired and is unlikely to improve in the near future.
If you are looking for the most popular gold coins, these are coins under one ounce of gold. In particular, these are the U.S. “Eagle” and “Buffalo”, Australian “Kangaroo”, Austrian “Philarmoniker”, British “Britania”, Canadian “Maple Leaf”, South African “Krugerrand”
You can visit Alpari Gold’s website for the full list of gold coins available out there, as well as their specifications and pricing. Alpari analysts remind you that the price of gold has been growing since late 2015. Since then, the price has gone up by almost 30%, from around $1000/oz all the way up to around $1300/oz.
At the same time, more and more representatives of the international expert community expect the gold rally to continue in 2017, which may well lead gold prices all the way up to $1500/oz and even higher. If to consider the gold price dynamics over the last 10 years, we will see that the price has gone up a stunning 160%!
The bottom line is that gold coins are a great way to diversify your investment portfolio and save your money from inflation and financial risks amid financial crisis, not to mention the constantly increasing value of such assets themselves. This is a true safe-haven asset for anyone seeking financial security!
