Coin and Stamp Trader Reports Rising Sales

News that a coin and stamp trader has delivered above-expectation returns for the year to the end of August has been welcomed by Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

Boston, MA, September 12, 2011 -- News that a coin and stamp trader has delivered above-expectation returns for the year to the end of August has been welcomed by Alternative Asset Analysis (AAA).

The alternative investment advocacy group said it is encouraged by the results announced by Noble investments, as it is “another indicator that alternatives are increasingly attractive compared with traditional assets, which are currently underperforming.”

This is according to AAA’s analysis partner, Anthony Johnson, who said that fears over the state of the economy on a global scale has resulted in massive investment in even the most unusual alternative assets, such as coins, art, stamps and other collectables and antiques.

Other beneficiaries of this search for a ‘safe haven' include forestry, real estate and gold, with prices rising to in excess of $1,900 per ounce. Meanwhile, real estate funds, such as British Land’s latest bond, have been oversubscribed many times as people push to invest their money anywhere other than the traditional equities.

Noble said that it received the most recent boost after massive sales were reported at its Hong Kong auction and fair last month. It said that demand in the Chinese market for it products, which include rare bank notes, coins, medals and stamps, has increased in recent months. In morning trading on 8 September, the firms recorded a rise in shares totaling six per cent.

“This share price rise reflects the increased confidence in these kinds of alternative asset classes,” explained Mr Johnson, who has ten years fund management experience. He added, “Forestry is another major beneficiary of this move towards alternatives and firms like Greenwood Management and Timber Investor are taking advantage of the appetite for ethical investments in sustainable forestry." Mr Johnson added, “The demand for forestry products is rising all the time at the moment, thanks to rapid economic growth in India and China, as well as from Brazil itself, which is a major economic growth region."

“This share price rise reflects the increased confidence in these kinds of alternative asset classes,”
