American Elements to Mint Coins from Rare and Advanced Metals for ETF, Hedge Fund and Private Investor Reserves
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) January 9, 2008 -- Los Angeles based American Elements announced today the launch of AE Bullion?. The new product group will mint certified high purity coins and bars from approximately sixty advanced, rare and less common metals for short and long term physical investment. Metals include rhodium, tellurium, indium, hafnium, scandium and the 14 rare earth elements; all metals which have experienced dramatic world price increases in 2007.
Coins and bars will be minted from assayed materials produced by American Elements' AE Metals? high purity refining group. Coins will be available to hedge funds, currency reserves and exchange traded funds (ETFs) in order to establish tradable securities and to allow for exposure and controlled risk to commodity and industrial demand fluctuations. Also, private investors, collectors and hobbyists can now take direct physical title and possession to these metals with risk exposure equivalent to movements in the world spot price.
Portfolios of different elemental metal coins and bars may also be structured allowing for strategic risk allocation and indexing across a basket of metals. American Elements will offer bonded short and long term warehouse inventory services for AE Bullion? coins to investors, funds and collectors who do not wish to take physical custody of the metal or lack secure storage or warehouse capabilities.
For further information on the AE Bullion? product group, please contact your local American Elements distributor or American Elements U.S. corporate headquarters at (1)310-208-0551, FAX (1)310-208-0351 or customerservice@americanelements.com.
