Gold & Bullion Storage

Gold and other bullion stored in your name, kept separate from anyone else's, in non-bank vaults on four continents.

Overview

Physical gold held outside the banking system is one of the oldest ways of protecting wealth — and one of the most often done badly. We arrange storage of gold, silver, platinum and palladium that's in your name and kept separately, in non-bank vaults in Zurich, Singapore, Dubai, Toronto and Auckland.

'Allocated' means specific bars are recorded in your name, with their serial numbers and refinery test certificates on file. 'Segregated' means those bars sit on a shelf marked as yours — not mixed with anyone else's metal. Neither is standard in most bank-vault schemes; both are standard in ours.

The metal is held however you choose to own it — personally, or through a trust, foundation or company — with a desk ready to sell some or all of it at the standard international (LBMA 'good delivery') price.

Frequently asked

Questions we hear on every intake call.

What's the difference between allocated and unallocated?
Allocated gold means specific bars you own outright, kept off the vault company's books. Unallocated means you only have a claim against the company — if it goes bust, you're just another unsecured creditor.
How is it insured?
All the storage we introduce is insured through Lloyd's syndicates against all risks at full replacement value, including while it's being moved to and from the vault.
Can gold be held inside a trust?
Yes. The trust or foundation is the legal owner, and the vault holds the metal in the trustee's account to the same standards — in its name and kept separate.
