LONDON, 3 June 2009 - BullionVault - the private investor service for gold bullion trading and ownership - appears in the latest issue of Investment & Pensions Europe (IPE), the leading comment and news magazine for pension-fund managers in Europe.
"Gold is not just an inflation hedge," IPE quotes Adrian Ash, head of research at BullionVault, in a detailed report also featuring analysis from Rozanna Wozniak, investment research manager at marketing-group the World Gold Council; Daniel Sacks, manager of the Global Gold Fund at investment bank Investec; Dennis Van Ek, European partner at pension consultants Mercer in Amsterdam; and Steve Ellis, portfolio manager at London hedge fund RAB Capital.
"For investors who want to take the direct route," says IPE, "physical gold can be purchased unprocessed [i.e. in bars] or through coins.
""Van Ek believes institutional investors should consider making physical allocations because it is the purist form of allocation, and investors do not have to worry about counterparty risk."
