19 percent of all working people see gold as the "ideal form of pension benefit." Especially popular is the yellow precious metal in North Rhine-Westphalia, where it is seen by exactly 25 percent of all working people as the preferred retirement instrument. Laggards are the states of Saxony and Thuringia. Here we see only one in eleven professionals gold bars or coins as an ideal form of retirement. This emerges from a representative study of Postbank in collaboration with the Institute for Allensbach.
main reason is the large and growing confidence in the safety of an investment in gold. Are nowadays hold 30 percent of all workers in Germany gold bars or coins for a "more secure retirement." Last year this figure was 26 percent. By comparison, private pensions and annuities from life insurance companies currently give only 24 or 22 percent of working people as' very secure pensions form, fixed-income securities such as Federal savings bonds, debentures and fixed deposits or savings bonds will each have 16 percent.
future too much gold would lose its appeal. This is supported by other figures from the study, among those professionals who want to increase their retirement savings plan, current eight percent of the purchase of gold bars and coins. It has among young workers aged 16 to 29 years' interest on the previous year doubled smooth. Only in older working people aged 50 upwards the interest has fallen.
Postbank warned, given the current high price levels for gold, however, before a quick investment. "The price of the precious metal has doubled in the last three years, over," said Dr. Marco Bargel, chief economist at Postbank. "Especially in times of crisis, gold is among investors as" safe harbor "very popular." The resulting demand has contributed to a sharp rise in prices. As the gold price has removed according to the Post Bank analysts justified by its fundamental level, is a downward correction in prices is likely.
