## Definition

money deposited in an account with an institution in the expectation that, due to the choice of the bank and/or the preference for a particular currency, the amount will be as immune as possible from losses of any kind - besides loss of purchasing power, also expropriation. - The conversion of money into an object that is protected - from loss of value, - onerous taxes on the investment object that are tantamount to partial expropriation (confiscatory taxation: taxes are levied permanently at fixed or even increasing rate, irrespective of income conditions of the taxable person, as the property tax on real estate) - confiscation, - nationalization and similar interventions by third parties. As financial history teaches - and in sharp contrast to a lot of wiseacres academic explanations and treatments, and also in contrast to interest-led proposals of banks and insurance companies - gold in private disposal is the only investment suitable as a safe investment in this sense, also because of its intrinsic value: gold encloses a material value in itself, in its substance. - See investment risk, diversification, contingent loss, financial investment, haven, safe, inflation protection, investment, capital investment, distressed investment, performance, Material asset, asset investment, tenfold, polygon, magic Attention: The financial encyclopedia is protected by copyright and may only be used for private purposes without express consent!
