invest in rare earth metals - terra metal fund
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.TRANSCRIPT
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.

If China or India had a number of TV setsproportional to Europe, there would be
no moreIndium, Gallium, Tantalum and Tellurium.

Statistical lifespan 2010 (in years)
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
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
