Consumer conservationists criticize KB Precious Metal
Conservationists warn consumers with investments in gold to be cautious. In gold-saving plans, investors pay a huge even, is convinced of the Christian Prantner of Labor.
The company KB precious metals such as applying, according to Labor consumers with so-called savings plans in precious metals. The company is based in Munich Precious KB (KB) Capital & Business GmbH, and is in Lucerne (Lucerne KB Precious Metals Ltd.), where the payee Business GmbH in Munich. According to the agreement applies to Swiss law. The depot is placed where the customer bought gold in Switzerland for a supposedly reputable banking institution. Ratsuchende consumers reported in the conference on Labor, reports that the gold of the financial advisors are euphoric. Margin on sales or costs little is spoken. An analysis of records of KB precious metal shows through the PC-consumer protectors following weaknesses: Costs for gold as savers return Destroyer
Gold savers with a fixed rate contract should set up fee of 1,500 euros to pay (waived if Einmalanlagen) and have advertised for the "benefit", a special price of KB-three percent on the purchase price compared to a regular KB-get. However, these are preferred by a KB-gram gold bars, according to Labor was significantly higher than comparable market prices in Austria. Anyone who can send the gold to pay five percent of costs paid by the sum of (omitted from 3,000 euros). Moreover, two euros per month account maintenance fee payable (preparation and mailing of account statements are). Shipping, and accounting fees alone amount to 4.50 euros at a gold saver when, for example 50 euros each month submit to the side. "Set-up fee, shipping and account costs mount up, and real rate of return for small savers destroyer" says Prantner.
The risks of gold investments remain in the dark. "The gold price is subject to significant price volatility," warned Prantner. Among the advertised benefits of KB precious metals, however, lacks the decisive indication that the gold buying gold savers KB (about 35.89 euros per gram in 2.9.) Substantially more than they need to lie down on the redemption of gold by KB (26.63 euros per gram ) realize.
In addition to the considerable cost savings until they have nearly 26-percent margin (or discount on the purchase price) by making gains over the holding period. "A gold savers who withdraws after a few years of the contract, for example due to demand for money, remains seated on the costs, if strong appreciation of gold, inevitably," criticized Prantner.A further criticism of Labor: The terms are too meager. For example, missing from the purchase or contract, the value date for purchases and sales. "It is unclear when KB makes the gold transactions," said Prantner. There is also no custody agreement - the gold is, according to AK allegedly at the Swiss bank UBS.
