Flexible Plan Gold Bullion Strategy Fund Marks Ten-Year Anniversary

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., July 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Flexible Plan Investments, Ltd., a leading provider of dynamic, risk-managed investment solutions, announced that its Gold Bullion Strategy Fund (QGLDX) has marked ten years since inception.  The fund is designed to track the daily return of gold bullion using the gold futures market.

Launched in 2013, the Gold Bullion Strategy Fund has a patent-pending structure.  Seventy-five percent of the fund's assets are allocated to short-term bond and money market holdings that can offset all or part of the expense ratio.  It closely tracks the price of gold as benchmarked by the S&P GSCI Gold Index.

The fund also offers several tax advantages over gold bullion and commodities.  These include 1099 tax reporting and normal capital gains treatment, compared to physical gold bullion ETFs which are subject to the 28% "collectibles" tax rate.  It is not treated as a commodity fund, where gains are taxed 60% long term and 40% short-term. A VIT version of the fund is also available.

"For a decade, investors have embraced the Gold Bullion Strategy Fund to hold gold in their portfolios, as well as for the significant tax advantages.  While the price of gold does fluctuate, and has been flirting with new highs of late, over the long-term gold has been a safe haven and true diversifier for portfolios," said Jerry Wagner, Flexible Plan founder and president and senior portfolio manager of the fund.

With $1.6 billion in assets under management (AUM), Flexible Plan Investments is a sub-advisor for 12 mutual funds and manages thousands of separately managed accounts. It is a subadvisor to Advisors Preferred, a boutique asset manager that manages and distributes mutual funds to financial advisors and financial professionals.

"The innovative strategy of the Gold Bullion Strategy Fund offers a prime example of the dynamic, risk-managed fund solutions that Flexible Plan provides to advisors and their clients. The firm has been an active manager assisting investors to navigate the market for the past 40 years," said Catherine Ayers-Rigsby, president of Advisors Preferred.
