need to commit to a pension arrangement called a Self Invested Pension
Plan [SIPP] for which regulations have been by set up by the UK parliament.
In a SIPP your pension fund investments are chosen by you, but the property
in your fund is administered by a formal pension fund trustee. When you
choose to retire your fund provides the capital which pays you an income -
through direct draw down or annuity, according to your choice.

The Outlook for Gold
As you will be managing a Self Invested Pension Plan you will be deciding for
yourself on the suitability of buying gold.
Here is a very brief synopsis of some of the major forces driving the modern
gold market.
Gold is in recovery by comparison with other financial assets. Having peaked
in 1980 at $850/oz it subsequently fell to a 2001 low of $260/oz. During that
21 year period it lost 69% of its value, while shares, bonds and property all rose
significantly.
The global physical gold market equation of supply and demand is dominated
by mining and jewellery manufacture.
European central banks have been consistent sellers and have provided a
balancing factor in the supply/demand equation. The US dollar dominates
currency reserves in most countries, but because of large US trade and budget
deficits the central banks of China, Russia and the oil exporters of the Middle
East are now emerging as buyers of gold, to offset the ongoing selling in
Europe.
Investment gold is a modest 400 tonnes per annum market. In fact a very much
larger sum than this is traded on futures markets around the world - primarily in
New York, London, Zurich and Tokyo - and trading on these markets stretches to
many times physical supply.
Trading futures on financial exchanges is arranged so that people who 'own'
gold in their portfolios actually own only a gold denominated asset - frequently
provided by a major bank in the form of an undertaking to deliver gold if
required.

The standard is a 400 oz bar of at least 99.5% purity. The fine (pure) gold content of these bars is the standard unit of account of the bullion markets, so if you own 100 grams of
gold you own 100 grams of pure gold, which is a bit more than 100 grams of the actual bar. The London Bullion Market Association [LBMA] maintains a list of accredited refiners
who produce these Good Delivery bars. As well as being made by one of these refiners, ever since its manufacture a Good Delivery bar must have stayed in vaults checked by
LBMA both for integrity, and for the robustness of their shipping and handling procedures. The size of the bars and all of this security infrastructure and procedure has in the past
tended to make the bullion market inaccessible to private customers, who instead have been forced to buy smaller bars with very much higher dealing costs. This is where
BullionVault comes in. Making investment gold available to private customers and their pensions. BullionVault provides everyone with access to Good Delivery gold, and it's normal
in BullionVault for a customer to own part of a bar. In fact you can own any amount down to 1 gram - which is about £11. So this high-integrity package of guaranteed gold,
authorised vault storage, and - most importantly - the very competitive prices of the professional bullion markets, all become directly accessible to you and your pension fund.
You can read all about how BullionVault works by visiting BullionVault. There is a comprehensive brochure, and detailed answers to all your questions on the FAQs [Frequently
Asked Questions].Buying gold for your SIPP via BullionVault does not tie you in. You can sell your gold whenever you wish, redeem the money to your SIPP trustee, and choose
some other investment.

What is "Investment Gold"? The government rules for SIPPs require the gold you buy to be of a specific
kind. The formal definition of what is required is "gold of a purity not less than 995 thousandths that is in the
form of a bar, or a wafer, of a weight accepted by the bullion markets". You cannot buy - for example -
sovereigns. 'Good Delivery Bars' are the type of bars accepted by the bullion markets.
