The Swiss Gold Annuity™
The Swiss Gold Annuity™ was created in response to constant fluctuation in global currency exchange rates.
This investment mechanism enables investors worldwide to take advantage of the stability and security that gold offers. GONTHIER GROUP SA's gold annuity is fast becoming the number one choice for American and European investors to shield themselves from the ever-present currency and political crises.

Why Switzerland?
Switzerland is the world's leading insurance and financial center and is one of the few industrialized nations to operate with a budget surplus. By combining political neutrality with economic stability, Switzerland has historically been one of the most secure countries in which to store wealth. Just as important, that wealth is readily available to investors. Switzerland has never imposed exchange controls on capital outflows or any other government regulation that would prevent foreign investors from safely withdrawing their funds.
Moreover, Switzerland means security. Not a single one of its more than 100 insurance companies has ever defaulted on a policy. Strict regulations are imposed on all insurers, making Switzerland an attractive investment opportunity for both experienced and novice investors.
IRA Rollovers
A double tax treaty between the United States and Switzerland allows Americans to roll over an IRA into a Swiss annuity without taxation. There are two types of IRA rollovers: direct and indirect. A direct rollover is the simplest way to transfer funds. A direct rollover occurs when the trustee of your employer’s retirement plan transfers your funds directly to an IRA trustee. An indirect rollover occurs when the trustee of your employer’s plan transfers the funds directly to you. You then have 60 days to transfer the funds into a Swiss annuity before they become taxable income.
Funds already in a 401(k) or other qualified plan can be transferred to a Swiss IRA equivalent account, which is generally not a taxable transaction.
