Allocated metal is held with independent professional vault operators and covered by insurance within the custody fee.
03
Full annual inspection
Professional independent assayers physically inspect every bar in every vault each year—a complete inspection, not a partial or sample count.
04
Clear legal title
Your bullion remains your physical property—not a promise, pooled entitlement or derivative exposure.
