The Benefits of Precious Metals Bullion for Pension Funds
Market conditions of the past decade have strained pension funds around the world; many have underperformed and are now facing shortfalls. Research shows that 33 percent of Canadian pension funds are struggling to meet liabilities. Increasingly, pension funds are recognizing the attractive risk/reward characteristics of gold bullion, along with its wealth preservation, inflation protection and negative correlation attributes. BMG BullionFund, BMG Gold BullionFund and BMG BullionBars offer pension funds the benefits and advantages of holding physical precious metals bullion in a secure, cost effective and convenient manner.
