GROW TH & PROTECTION

Consistent, Stable Growth

Pink diamonds have experienced a strong history of long-term growth, driven
by increasing demand from developing countries and supply that is moving
towards exhaustion. While other investments, including gold, have seen price
drops; pink diamonds have remained consistent, even during periods of great
financial uncertainty.

Protection in Uncertain Times

Being uncorrelated from traditional financial markets, pink diamonds appeal to
investors looking to build a truly diversified portfolio. They held their price, and
even grew, during the Great Financial Crisis, and have been unaffected by the
coronavirus pandemic that has impacted markets throughout the world.

In November 2020 Global Supply was Cut by 90%

Pink diamonds have a unique supply and demand profile amongst hard
assets. 90% of the world’s pink diamond supply was mined from a single
source - Rio Tinto’s Argyle Mine in Western Australia. Due to exhausted
supply making further exploration uneconomical, the mine ceased all mining
operations in November 2020.

Combine the fundamentals of supply and demand with already stable growth
over the past 15 years and pink diamonds present a unique opportunity for
savvy investors to have the benefits of a stable hard asset, with the potential
for outsized gains in the medium to long term. The closure of the Argyle Mine
has only hightened the sense of urgency amongst astute investors looking to
capitalize on the profitability of this unique asset class.

“Fifty years ago there were very few people who believed
there were diamonds in Australia – even fewer could have
foreseen how the Argyle story would unfold.”

Arnaud Soirat
Rio Tinto’s chief executive of Copper & Diamonds

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

SMSF Diversification
Pink Diamonds are an allowable investment within an SMSF, and due to the
volatility of traditional financial markets, an increasingly popular option for
investors and fund managers looking to build a diversified portfolio.

Australian Diamond Portfolio can help you meet your SMSF reporting
requirements with yearly valuations, secure vault storage and insurance. We
make upkeep minimal so you can focus on your more sensitive investments.

A Natural Currency Hedge

As with precious metals, diamonds are always priced in USD dollars, providing
any portfolio that contains them a natural foreign currency hedge that helps
manage the risk of a depreciating Australian dollar.

If, as many experts expect, the Australian economy continues to slow then
pink diamond investors not only stand to benefit from the price appreciation of
the diamonds themselves, but also from any further weakness in the AUD.

Estate Planning & Wealth Preservation

When it comes to estate planning, as a private currency pink diamonds are
a discreet way of transferring wealth, with a cache of diamonds seamlessly
passed from one generation to the next.

In terms of privacy, most governments do not require the ownership of

coloured diamonds to be disclosed to any government authority as they are
considered personal property. Diamond certificates are always in bearer
form - there are no names or serial numbers, and there are no registration
requirements for privately held coloured diamonds.
