Stanley Gibbons has been serving collectors since 1856 - just 16 years after the first stamp was issued, the Penny Black, in May 1840. We are the undisputed market leader in the field of rare stamps with "an unblemished reputation for expertise and honest dealing" (The Times). We have held the Royal Warrant for services to philately since 1914, a true mark of quality.
What this means for you as an investor?
When you deal with Stanley Gibbons, you're getting the best market insight and expertise when it comes to 'stock picking' for your collection or portfolio.
Despite our longevity in the stamp market, we're actually a 'late starter' when it comes to offering investment opportunities - the wealthy and grand houses of Europe like the Rothschilds have been using stamps to preserve wealth for generations.
In times of unrest, social, political or financial, it was often easier to grab one's stamps rather than the family silver!
In the early 2000s Stanley Gibbons began to apply its considerable philatelic expertise to offer investors the opportunity to secure selections of rare, prized, tangible assets to protect and grow their wealth. Early adopters have, on the whole, seen the benefit of consistent portfolio growth since then.
After the crash of 2008/09, the number of clients seeking greater portfolio diversification and safer havens for their capital has grown considerably and the department has expanded both in the UK and internationally to meet demand.
Who invests with us?
Initially our clients were primarily collectors, clients of SG already familiar with the brand, supporting a part of their pensions. Now in addition to 'pensioners', we manage portfolios and enquiries for millionaire entrepreneurs, celebrity orthodontists, professional sportsmen, directors, IFAs, wealth managers and Family Offices all across the world.
With rare stamps (and coins) having a long and consistent track record of steady growth and capital appreciation, (see our Bloomberg-listed Indices), more and more investors are turning to us to see if an investment with Stanley Gibbons fits their investment strategy.Categories: Investment Consultants, Numismatics - Study Of Coins & Money, Philately - Study Of Stamps & Postal History, Wealth Management.
