With the present volatility of the global stock market, the urgency for a new investment haven is at hand. Diversification into investment options where the price is driven by scarcity value is a wise choice. Value based on scarcity will only increase with time.

Philately. An emerging asset class.

Art and sculptures - the works of masters - have consistently fetched handsome returns. A dark horse like Philately has since been discovered as one of the fastest emerging asset class.

An investment haven in these troubled times.

The traditional movement of capital in troubled (read recession) times was into bullion. With the European Bank's decision to sell gold reserves, its safe haven premium has been eroded.

Philately is a promising choice. Collections are especially easy to procure, store and convey, just the thing for unstable political environments where currencies, bank deposits, real estate can come under threat overnight.

Stamps are also ideal investments in tax-unfriendly environments. With the right contacts, they are easily encashed and discreetly dealt.

A promising growth market.

A refreshing investment opportunity is always worth a second glance. Stamps as an asset class are ripe for picking in our current financial climate. Our job at Mherping is to harness the philatelic market's growth potential to provide our investors with rewarding returns.
