FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Omaha, NE June 23rd, 2009: Swancorp Investment Group, LLC, an independent precious metals dealer located in Omaha, Nebraska, and member of the local Better Business Bureau, announced the creation of a wholly owned subsidiary. TheGOLDMAP.com, LLC. (The Gold Map) The company was formed in May to offer access to hedging, diversification and speculating in the precious metals markets to a wider range of retail clients. The recent economic slowdown has highlighted the need for diversification in a financial plan. Precious metals have long been considered a “flight to quality” instrument but lacked a low cost entry point required by many investors. The average investor requires diversification just as much as the wealthier sophisticated investor but most coin dealers and brokers only offer coins and bars with an initial cost too high for many.
Lately, every media you turn to has ads from companies offering to buy your old gold jewelry or sell you coins. G. Carl Swanson, CFO of Swancorp Investment Group, LLC said “I do not want people’s gold jewelry; I want people to own more gold, not sell it to me! That is why we created The Gold Map, to make precious metals ownership possible for people of all income levels. ”
The company’s website, www.thegoldmap.com went live the first week in June. It is geared toward the average investor offering a metals accumulation program through adjustable monthly investments as well as precious metals ownership through IRA’s. An IRA is an individual retirement account that provides income tax advantages to individuals saving money for retirement purposes. Many people have IRA programs initiated at the work place; The Gold MAP assists and encourages you to roll part of those investments over to precious metals products. Swanson said “The IRS allows these rollovers with no penalty. The IRS allows it and it just makes good sense to not have all your eggs in one basket.”
The Metals Accumulation Program, or MAP, is designed specifically for investors that need to participate in the advantages that precious metals ownership allows while keeping the up front and monthly cost at a manageable level. They encourage longer term ownership with incentives for keeping your precious metals in storage rather than delivered to you or liquidated when the market turns favorable with a short rally.” Swanson said “I saw my personal wealth diminished with the latest economic downturn. We set out to create a product that could have helped me and will help many others like me. The MAP is the answer!” Combine the MAP with the company’s retirement products and they have diverse offerings that make precious metals ownership possible for many that thought it was out of their reach.
The company’s new website, www.thegoldmap.com, is a visual and literal play on a common cultural theme everybody can relate to; a search for hidden treasure. The theme is no accident; it is what they believe they have created. A visit to www.thegoldmap.com leads me to believe they may have found a treasure map we can all use, finally.
