At the time of writing, the past fortnight has seen nothing short of turmoil grip many of the worlds banking systems, not least our own. As confidence falls even further it seems many depositors are seeking more secure alternatives than to remain reliant on their trusted high street institutions. It seems so long ago now that the whole Northern Rock fiasco was gripping the news and sending waves of panic through its customer base. The rest of us, myself included, simply watched on and took a ‘not in my back yard’ attitude towards the banks demise as ‘our money is elsewhere’! If only someone could have shown us a vision of the future at that time and I wonder what the reaction would be. Actually, can someone show us a vision of the future now, please?

Fast forward to the present and we have witnessed the fall of a number of leading financial institutions. We all know them, so I’ve no need to list them, and an alarming number in addition are beleaguered and set to dominate the headlines over the oncoming weeks. It’s quite frightening, but now it seems people are beginning to take heed and start to ask questions of their own potential security.

So it’s just as well then, that the government has now raised the bar. Following the Northern Rock affair the government stepped in and introduced a state guarantee of £35,000 – which is great if you fall within that threshold – and has now increased it to £50,000 in the wake of recent events. But what of the millions of people in this country with savings in excess of £50k? It would seem some of our fellow EC members have the solution with both Germany & Greece this week following Ireland’s example of offering an unlimited guarantee for two years. Of course, many have moved fast and taken the Irish banks up on their offers!

So indeed these funds are now secured for two years, but what happens thereafter? How certain are we that the financial markets will have recovered by then? Perhaps the classic British eternal optimism is on display once again as we view this as a temporary glitch, despite leading figures seemingly concerned about the long term effects this time round. The great depression & recessions of last century have been bandied about in the press with many speculating that this current situation will eclipse it. So the question remains, where can people securely deposit their savings, and can they do it here in good old blighty? The answer is yes.

If you are reading this blog you are most likely aware of the Discover And Invest stamp investment product that is available currently. Have another read by clicking here. Not only is this a secure vehicle for investing your savings over the next five years, but once the five years have passed you will be entitled to not just the return of your capital, but 25% in addition as a bare minimum, worked out as 5% per annum compounded. As a plus, there is every opportunity for the investment to emulate private collections currently realising at up to 13-33% per annum. And over five years? – do the maths!

In short, in the current economic climate, what better way to keep your money here in the UK, securely & with the guarantee of capital growth?

When I first speak to people about investing in rare stamps I am more often than not met with a cynical smile or look of shock. Some even laugh! Although in all cases the body language tends to have “tell me more” written all over it. Whilst a full overview is available by simply by emailing me it is worth a few narratives to explain what first attracted me to the proposition.

The primary aspect was security. The ability to work with a long standing company having already celebrated its sesquicentennial and boasting an exorbitant level of liquidity is one that is too good to turn down, not to mention their market leading position. Security is such an important aspect of anything we bring to market at Discover And Invest and indeed has seen a few intriguing opportunities fall by the wayside as a result of failing to tick all the boxes.

The secondary factor was the potential returns the investment can generate. Whilst our provider is happy to guarantee a minimum return of 25% after 5 years, the uncapped ceiling can provide returns at a considerably higher level. In troubled times where many property investors are struggling to achieve 5% and having to settle for less, it feels good to be able to bring a product to market that offers this level as a worst case scenario!

Supply and demand characteristics apply also and were the tertiary reason for taking this forward. Certainly when the demand is there with property for example, then you simply build more. Yet you cannot simply make a new batch of old rare investment stamps! As more and more collectors enter the market it naturally pushes valuations higher. A quick growth comparison with markets such as UK Property, the FTSE100, and even gold will show you just how stamp values are continuing to out perform the traditional routes.

Lastly, with any mid-long term investment lays the small matter of an exit strategy, of which there are six different options relating to this investment. All things considered, for me this stacks up as one of the more if not most secure investment products I have ever had the privilege to be involved with. And in this day & age – I’ll take that.

Noble Investments, the only listed UK coin dealer and auctioneer, is enjoying a renaissance in collecting as investors who have had their fingers burned in traditional markets seek out a cycle-resistant alternative.

“We’ve never seen business as strong as it has been this year,” said Ian Goldbart, managing director of Noble Investments today, after announcing the £1.25 million acquisition of Surrey stamp trader Apex Philatelics.

Mr Goldbart’s bullish assessment of the sedate world of collecting fits with statements last week from Britain’s biggest stamps and memorabilia trader Stanley Gibbons, which said the “all-consuming passion” of collectors would insulate the sector from the wider economic slump.

Stanley Gibbons said the price of rare stamps showed no correlation with other assets and increased during downturns.

Apex auctions stamps for up to £5,000 a piece, while Noble offers ancient Greek, Roman, Indian and British coins among others at prices up to £11,000.

Mr Goldbart added that high-value stamps are increasingly considered a worthy investment opportunity.

“If it’s an investment, then customers want something rare, not something that they could find again next week or next month,” he said.

Following the acquisition of Apex, London-based Noble, whose chairman is Nicholas Bonham, former deputy chairman of Bonhams Auctioneers, will look to expand into bank notes and military decorations to gain more exposure to an expanding market.

“It only takes a very small percentage of money from the dominant markets of stocks, property and bonds to be channelled into alternative investments to make a big difference to our business,” Mr Goldbart said. “What’s going on in the economy globally is having a positive effect on us.

“When you look at a business like ours that turns over about £12 million a year and compare that to Christie’s and Sotheby’s, which can do between £400 and £500 million in one auction of paintings, you begin to understand why we think there’s significant upside in this space.”

Meanwhile, the economic turmoil has also proved a boon for Britains’s biggest pawnbroker. H&T Group yesterday reported first-half profits rose by £1 million as it cashed in on soaring gold prices.

The pawnbroker, which smelts about a fifth of its stock, made £2.4 million gross profits in the period, up from £700,000, a rise it attributed to the increase in bullion prices.
