Sustainably protecting personal assets from losses
The current events related to the COVID-19 pandemic make it clear: it has never been more crucial to protect one’s capital than now. The economy is struggling. Stock markets are fluctuating, more hectically than in 1929 during the Great Depression. Loans can’t be serviced, rents can’t be paid. The financial sector could quickly be engulfed. Nobody wants this. Yet, daily warnings and cautionary advice increase.
For those wanting to secure their wealth and grow it in the future, a range of challenges currently exists. The best safeguard: investing in tangible assets! Once this decision is made, investors can hardly overlook diamonds. Always stable in value and resilient in crises, diamond prices have astonishingly increased by 1,000 percent since 1960! Experts agree this upward trend will continue.
Thus, the diamond market remains as it has always been: highly lucrative! Besides price stability even during economic uncertainty and sustainable value appreciation, diamonds as an investment also offer tax advantages and general decoupling from regulatory systems and subsystems. The diverse legal requirements and conditions for trading stocks and other investments that various financial institutions must follow do not apply to diamond trading.
Therefore, those looking to do what they should – invest in diamonds – securely, transparently, and sustainably, will find an experienced partner in Verreaud.
Verreaud stands for diamond trading at the highest level
Natural diamonds are significantly rarer than gold. Like the precious metal, they are part of human cultural and economic history. Their value as an investment is defined by precisely determinable factors. Their quality is determined using a standardized evaluation system and recorded in a certificate. Such certificates are recognized worldwide by traders, brokers, and insurers. Therefore, diamonds can be traded easily and flexibly. This flexibility and fungibility contribute significantly to their suitability as an investment. Physically acquired diamonds cannot suffer total loss, unlike stocks, bonds, or other forms of investments. This makes diamonds an internationally recognized and globally uniformly valued alternative currency. Considering security, diamonds certainly belong in any portfolio.
Verreaud deals exclusively with naturally ‘grown’ stones because synthetic diamonds cannot compare in financial or intrinsic value. To ensure that all diamonds are genuine, comprehensive provenance documentation and certifications from internationally recognized testing institutes are provided. Verreaud’s security guarantees include a three-year price guarantee after the transfer of ownership. If an internationally recognized gemological institute certifies a lower price, the customer can return their diamonds. This unique service is a crucial part of Verreaud’s high-security standards. The purchase price is initially deposited into a control account and monitored by an external control ‘Anstalt'(institute). Verreaud only receives the funds once the diamonds are finally transferred to the customer.
Conflict-free diamonds as an ethically clean investment
Strict origin controls ensure that regulations and guidelines, such as the Kimberley Process and the European Union declarations on diamond trading, are followed. The diamonds traded by Verreaud are all legally impeccable regarding their origin. Thus, they are a viable investment form from an ethical standpoint as well.
