WEALTH: Gold expert Simon Popple makes a strong case for the inflation protection qualities of investing in gold. Even now when gold is at all time highs. As a former head of investment manager at Strutt and Parker, Simon realised that his personal inflation rate was much higher than the RPI. After much research he decided investment into gold was the answer. In this interview we discuss: - Why gold provides the hedge against inflation that Simon believes we all need as part of a balanced portfolio - How to invest in gold and other commodities directly or via companies exposed to gold - How physical silver can save your skin should an armageddon-like situation unfold - How Simon teaches people to invest in gold and other commodities using his BRIDGE System. ABOUT SIMON Following an MBA, Simon's corporate career started in investment banking at Singer and Friedlander and later at ABN AMRO where he became one of the founding members of their financial sponsors team within corporate finance.   Deciding that his friends in property were earning more and working fewer hours, Simon went on to become the head of investment management at Strutt and Parker real estate financial services and then joined Copland, one of the world's largest private property companies as their youngest director. It was during this time that Simon realised his pension wasn't keeping up with his own level of personal inflation let alone the RPI. He decided to do something about it and struck gold.
