The Queen's seal of approval
Not everyone is permitted to display the Royal Warrant on their promotional literature. As official philiatelists of choice to the Queen herself, Stanley Gibbons Limited are one such company and proudly bear the Royal Warrant as their seal of approval.
Stanley Gibbons (Guernsey) Limited is the offshore arm of Stanley Gibbons Limited; this Channel Islands based company specialises in rare stamp and autograph investment.
Performance
This investment guarantees a minimum return of 5-6% per annum dependent on the amount invested & length of contract. This is a generous worst case scenario considering that over the past 50 years stamp values have risen by 9.97% on average, compounded per annum – and this investment provides no ceiling or capping. The potential returns are mouth watering.
Comparison
The increase in stamp values in recent years is enormous. Compare it to the more traditional avenues of investment, ie gold, FTSE100 & property and the results speak for themselves.
Undervalued
It is widely regarded that stamps are considerably undervalued currently. This cannot remain the case for ever.
Supply & Demand
Rare stamps increase in value due to the overwhelming amount of collectors entering the market. Whilst bearing in mind that whilst the number of collectors continues to increase, there are only so many rare stamps to go around, which of course are no longer being produced. Demand therefore is massively outstripping supply, which means increasing returns for investors.
Hassle free
As part of the package Stanley Gibbons will offer to both store & insure the stamps in their vault. This removes the need to make arrangement for this yourselves.
Company Security
Stanley Gibbons is debt free, has been in existence now for over 150 years and is the market leader, still based in the Strand in central London.
Current performance
£24,000,000 worth of stamps & autographs are currently under management which represents an enormous degree of liquidity
Case Study
Bonds magnate William Gross invested £2,500,000 in his collection to see it realise over £10,500,000 7 years later. At his own admittance this investment generated higher returns than the bonds from which he made his fortune.
