FAQ
What precious metals products are suitable for institutional portfolios?
We recommend LBMA Good Delivery gold and silver bars as the primary building blocks for institutional precious metals allocations. Gold provides the strongest hedge against currency devaluation and geopolitical risk, while silver offers additional industrial demand exposure. Platinum and palladium can provide diversification benefits and exposure to automotive and industrial sectors. We help you determine the optimal allocation based on your investment objectives and risk parameters.
How do you ensure the security of institutional precious metal holdings?
Our custody solutions feature fully segregated storage in internationally recognized, audited vault facilities. Each client's holdings are physically separated and individually tracked, with comprehensive insurance coverage. Independent audits verify holdings on a regular basis, and we provide detailed statements for your reporting and compliance requirements. We can also arrange direct delivery to your own custody facilities if preferred.
Can you support large-scale acquisitions without moving markets?
Yes, our team has extensive experience executing large precious metal acquisitions discreetly and efficiently. We leverage our relationships with multiple refineries and market makers to source products without creating unnecessary market impact. We use strategies including phased execution, diversified sourcing, and off-market transactions to minimize slippage and achieve optimal pricing for large orders.
What reporting and documentation do you provide for institutional clients?
We provide comprehensive reporting including real-time valuations based on transparent pricing methodologies, detailed transaction histories, custody confirmations, insurance documentation, and audit support materials. Our reports are formatted to meet institutional reporting standards and can be integrated with your portfolio management and accounting systems. We also assist with tax reporting and regulatory compliance documentation.
How do precious metals fit within institutional investment mandates?
Precious metals, particularly gold, serve multiple roles in institutional portfolios: they provide diversification benefits due to low correlation with traditional assets, act as a hedge against inflation and currency risk, preserve purchasing power over long time horizons, and perform well during periods of market stress. We work with your investment team to determine how precious metals align with your specific mandate, risk tolerance, and return objectives.
Do you offer both allocated and unallocated precious metal accounts?
Yes, we offer both allocated and unallocated account structures. Allocated accounts provide direct ownership of specific, segregated bars identified by serial number, offering maximum security and transparency. Unallocated pool accounts provide exposure to precious metal prices with greater liquidity and lower storage costs. We help you evaluate which structure best suits your investment strategy, custody preferences, and regulatory requirements.
