Gold Bullion International Announces New Service for 40 Act Funds

NEW YORK, July 7, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Gold Bullion International (GBI: www.bullioninternational.com) today announced the "40 Act Precious Metals Program." This program capitalizes on an SEC no-action letter which for the first time authorizes the storage of investment company metal with a non-bank entity, The Brink's Company  (NYSE: BCO), a global leader in secure logistics. The program is the only offering which seamlessly combines non-bank storage with transactional services, providing investors with competitive pricing, liquidity and reporting.   

"This is a game-changer for GBI," said Steven Feldman, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Gold Bullion International. "The program combines GBI, which facilitates the buying and selling of the metals, and Brink's, which provides the vaulting and transportation services.  Precious metals have always been seen as a safe haven investment. Now the precious metals will be stored in one of the safest vaults in the world without the perceived credit, counter-party or systemic risk associated with the banking industry."

Florida-based Timothy Plan is the first fund family to partner with GBI and Brink's. The company exists to promote biblically responsible investing.

"Timothy Plan is leveraging the services offered by both GBI and Brink's to mitigate counter-party risk associated with storing precious metals in bank vaulting facilities," said Arthur Ally, founder of Timothy Plan. "This bullion investment is part of our defensive strategy to protect investors from a world full of risks.  We felt strongly that using this program minimized certain risks that no longer had to be taken. This is a very important development for 40 Act funds that hold gold and other precious metals as part of their portfolios."

"Timothy Plan takes risk management very seriously and has become a pioneer among 40 Act funds," added Feldman. "More investors are opting to own the physical assets today, rather than an ETF or closed end fund. Bullion owners can now opt to store in the safest vaults in the world at a cost well below that of an ETF and even below the cost of bullion stored in banks. And they can do so without sacrificing any liquidity."
