20% Guaranteed Return through GOLD ?

Have you ever heard of an investment with Guaranteed Return 20% ?  Well, this particular one is from The Gold Guaranteed . . . what do you think the catch is ?

  1. You Buy Bullion Gold from TGG ( The Gold Guaranteed )
  2. You keep the gold
  3. You sign a 3-months-contract with TGG
  4. TGG pays you 1.7% every month
  5. At the end of 3 months, you can choose to 
    1. renew the contract for another 3 months or
    2. sell the gold back to TGG how much you have paid for ( ie. your Capital ) 
  • To renew the contract, you have to pay the additional cost if the gold price has gone up
  • Like wise if the gold price has gone down, you get paid extra and also gets to renew the contract

For example, at end of August . . .
  1. You pay $22,500 for a 100g bullion and signed the 2 pages contract
  2. You get paid $382.50 monthly for the next 3 months ( 22,500 x 1.7% )
  3. 3 months later, 100g gold price goes up to $23,500.
  4. You paid an extra $1,000 and renew the contract
  5. You get paid $399.50 monthly for the next 3 months ( 23,500 x 1.7% )
  6. another 3 months later, 100g gold price goes down to $21,500.
  7. You get paid $2,000 and renew the contract
  8. You get paid $365.50 monthly for the next 3 months ( 21,500 x 1.7% )
  9. another 3 months later, 100g gold price goes back to $22,500.
  10. You paid $1,000 and renew the contract
  11. You get paid $382.50 monthly for the next 3 months ( 22,500 x 1.7% )
  12. when the contract ends, you sell it to TGG and get back $22,500

Month paid get back
1 $22,500 $383
2 $383
3 $383
4 $1,000 $400
5 $400
6 $400
7 -$2,000 $366
8 $366
9 $366
10 $1,000 $383
11 $383
12 $383
$4,590


Summary
Maximum Capital : $ 23,500
Total Return : $4,590
Rough Return : ~20%

All this happens while you are keeping your own bullion gold with you until you sell it back to TGG.

How does this sound to you ?  What could be the catch if any at all ?

What other strategies you may apply assuming this is a genuine deal ?

What is really important in Personal Finance Planning ?

There is a great video I have seen in LCF  where he talks about Insurance Investment Retirement Tax Estate Planning Although I may not agree to all points but it is actually quite good and all points presented professionally. Some of my pondering points 5-6% investment cost is NOT LOW Actually whether an investment cost is low or not is always relative.  For example, if you are paying 20-30% to others to manage your portfolio then it is lower to find one that is 5-6%.  Likewise, paying 1-2% fee when you manage your own investment is common.   So it is really a matter of your money vs your time.  If you pay more fee, you would expect better services just like any other things in life. Thousands of saving on tax can be compounded to millions While its true you could save on tax but usually its not in a huge magnitude.  To save thousands in tax, you probably have a certain amount of much bigger income to start with.   Its more toward FREE money vs ignora...

Untuk daun pisang, sebaiknya bunda memakai daun pisang kluthuk supaya hasil bungkusannya bagus saat dikukus.
