$10,000 Gold: Why Gold's Inevitable Rise Is the Investor's Safe Haven (please click the image:) For the past decade, Nick Barisheff has focused on the world of precious metals and the advantages of investors holding physical gold, silver, and platinum bullion . As president and CEO of Bullion Management Group Inc. (BMG), a precious metals management company, he uses his understanding of the precious metals markets to develop strategies, products and services for clients looking to integrate bullion into their portfolios. His view on the precious metals sector is that gold, silver and platinum in bullion form, are a vital component of a client's financial program and should make up ten percent or more of a well-diversified portfolio.
In 2002, he launched BMG and BMG BullionFund, Canada’s only RSP eligible open-end mutual fund trust that purchases equal dollar amounts of gold, silver and platinum bullion. More recently, BMG expanded it products by launching BMG Gold BullionFund and the BMG BullionBars program. Mr. Barisheff specifically designed all BMG products to meet the three fundamental attributes of owning bullion: liquidity, no counterparty risk and independent of management skills. In 2011, BMG became an Associate Member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA).
Widely recognized as an international bullion expert, Barisheff writes numerous articles on bullion and current market trends, which are published on various news and business websites. Nick has appeared on BNN, CBC, CNBC, Sun Media and does countless interviews in leading business publications across North America, Europe and Asia. He is a soon to be published author with his book $10,000 Gold: The Inevitable Rise and the Investor’s Safe Haven. Every investor who is seeking the safety of sound money will benefit from Nick’s insights into the portfolio-preserving power of gold.
Through BMG, Mr. Barisheff is continuing to develop products and services that allow investors of every level, from institutional to “do-it-yourself” individuals, take full advantage of buying and holding uncompromised bullion in a diversified portfolio.
Nick Barisheff is a finalist for the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur Of The Year 2012 Awards.
