DESCRIPTION

Invest in Strategic and Rare Earth Metals via Terra Metal Fund http://www.mylifeplan.info/ Investments in tangible values offer extensive protection against inflation. Limited supplies and consistent advances in technology (smartphones, iPads, flat screen monitors etc.) around the world create continuously growing demand for strategic and rare earth metals - even during cyclically weaker periods of global economic growth. A great introduction to the Rare Earths Elements.

About Us

TerraMetal InvestmentFounded in 2010

So far private andinstitutional investors

have not had the chanceto invest in rare earthand strategic metals.

TerraMetalhas made it possible forinvestors to physicaly

store rare metals.

The TerraMetal Fundwas initiated in Nov 2011.

From now on even smallsavings can be invested.

Return on Investment (ROI)

But what about the supply ?

Prices result from demand and supply.We know that demand is steadily increasing.

Supply Increase –Mining and Recycling are Not the Solution

Can the demand be satisfied, sooner or later?

Resources are limited

Mine development takes several years (8-10)

Mine development is not possible for all metals or generatesvast costs, respectively

Most metals can not be substituted

Rising prices

Recycling is not possible, or not yet profitable

Advantages of Investing inRare Earths & Strategic Metals

Real assets

Scarce resources

No derivates, futures etc.

Guaranteed increase of prices after a minimum term of 10 years

Possibility of modest investments

Positive side effect

Problem of inflation solved

Problem of enormous drop in prices in phases of recession is not expected

Problem of possible bubbles solved

Real yield problem solved

Almost everyone can invest

Low correlationCorrelation

Raw material stock for the European industry

Page 26: Invest in Rare Earth Metals - Terra Metal Fund

Management Strategy

The management of TerraMetal Fundfollows a simple strategy:

Which metals will run out andfor which metals will demand increase markedly?

These metals will bepurchased depending on

availability and then storedphysically.

Evidently, future researchdevelopments andexpansion of mine

capacities will be takeninto consideration
