Yes, it does help greatly.

 

Just one last thing. Why wouldn’t diamonds be accepted as “primary security” given how easy it would be for me or anyone for that matter with significant “net worth” to sell the diamonds and not only get cash but not be subjected to the rather large “spread” between the wholesale and retail price of diamonds whether or not industrial diamonds produced in machines or gem quality that most would agree at least up until now have only come out of the ground?

 

Moreover, why would I even care given how a Bank Guarantee or Letter of Credit would amount to the exact same thing, possibly costing me a few pennies more for the paper work for “limited liability”, i.e. how could I possibly go wrong?

Membership is now all on a Limited Liability basis for new investors. Diamonds would not be acceptable as primary security but as collateral for a Bank Guarantee or Letter of Credit would I am sure be fine but subject to whatever commercial terms that the bank would require. My colleague will drop you a line shortly with a few more details but I hope this helps in the short-term.

Perhaps it would help speed up matters if you could simply tell me, assuming there were of course openings whether or not the exposure was “limited” or “unlimited”, whether a very significant balance sheet, i.e. net worth made up mostly of certified diamonds would be acceptable?

Good day,

 

I have been referred to you by Deborah Moor of Lloyds of London.

 

Back in the mid to late 1980s I nearly became a “Name” and I would like to know if there are any openings.

 

Thank you for your consideration,

 

Gary Gevisser
