Safe storage of your bullion
It goes without saying that once you have purchased your bullion, keeping it safe becomes your next priority.
Our clients have the choice of having their bullion delivered (via insured courier, to make their own storage arrangements), or for us to arrange secure storage in a LBMA member vault.
For most people, we would recommend our secure storage option – here are some of the benefits:
The Greatest Security
It can be difficult to ensure the safety of your bullion investment when you are using your own storage facilities. Even if you have invested in your own high-security home safe. You should also insure your bullion, and the fewer people who know you have it, the better.
Reduced Costs
Institutional storage is generally less expensive (and more secure) than retail storage in a safety deposit box or similar, or home storage once you take into account the costs of purchasing and installing a suitable safe and the ongoing insurance costs.
Fully Segregated Storage
Your stored bullion is both allocated and segregated. What this means is that:
- 100% of your investment is assigned to you within the storage facility, and can be liquidated at any time. This is not always the case with other bullion providers so always check this key point.
- Your investment is segregated from other clients and held separately, ensuring there will be no difficulties when it comes to liquidation. Again, always check this is the case when purchasing.
Faster Buybacks
When it comes time to sell, we can perform our checks much more quickly if the bullion you have purchased from us has always been securely stored with us. We don’t have to wait to receive your bullion. And we know exactly where it has been and that it has not been tampered with or damaged in any way.
If you wish to take delivery of your stored bullion then you can access your investment at any time. We will only require a signed transfer and it will be sent to your home and covered by our own insurance during transit.
How much does it cost to have my gold / silver stored?
This is comparable with the running costs of something like a typical pension investment:
Gold: 0.65% – 0.95% per annum
Silver: 1.5% per annum
