We invest in a safe haven

Our first investment in a safe-haven asset

Testimony of Marie and Patrick

 

Patrick (40) and Marie (39) live in the province of Brabant Wallons, just a few kilometers south of Brussels, with their 2 children, aged 10 and 8. They own their main home and, like the vast majority of Belgians, have their savings in the bank.

 

Households in this Walloon region of Belgium have unfortunately not escaped the global crisis of 2020/2021. In light of the events of recent months, Marie and Patrick are asking themselves questions about their savings and their children's future: "Are my savings secure? Will it still be worth anything when we pass it on to our children in the future?"

 

After some online research, they quickly made an appointment with CaraOr to discuss their assets. "We had seen the positive reviews on the Internet, which reassured us for our first investment."

 

Marie and Patrick came to CaraOr in Rixensart to talk about their investment in the precious metal. Marie explains that " Gold being a safe investment, wedecided to invest part of our savings in the yellow metal! " Her husband adds that "it was important for us to diversify our investments to secure our assets. Gold is a shock absorber during financial crises. When the economy is doing badly, gold is a safe haven. In fact, it's worth noting that gold was resilient and even rose sharply when equity markets fell in 2007-2009, 2011 and 2020.

 

At CaraOr, we welcomed Marie and Patrick in a secure environment. We talked about the different precious metals (gold and silver), the different forms of gold and advised them on investments according to their profile. "Being naturally anxious, we asked the CaraOr specialists all our questions. Unlike other establishments of this kind, CaraOrtakes the time to listen tous. They reassured us.

 

The couple also took the opportunity to bring in their Old Gold: earrings, a necklace and two bracelets. "It's been a while since I wanted to get rid of some broken or out-of-fashion jewelry; I haven't worn it in years," says Marie. At CaraOr, we easily appraised their gold jewelry. We told Marie and Patrick the nature of the alloy, the number of carats, their total weight and the weight of the gold in their jewelry, as well as the value of the stones. "What I particularly appreciate is the transparency of the transaction: he gives us a free estimate, at the right price".

 

Marie and Patrick are happy with CaraOr's services. "They have a professional approach. There's a joint search and exchange of opinions. The transaction is efficient."
