What Is Corporate Gold Custody?
Corporate gold custody is the process of holding physical bullion in secure, audited vaults under corporate agreements.
Every bar is documented, insured, and verified, ensuring full ownership rights and compliance with AML/KYC regulations.
For corporations and enterprises, this provides regulatory clarity, secure settlement, and transparent reporting.
Why Allocated Gold Storage Matters
Allocated custody provides direct ownership of specific bars, unlike pooled accounts.
- Full bar ownership with unique serial numbers and barlists.
- Independent verification and audits by SGS / Alex Stewart.
- Annual all-risk insurance coverage from global insurers.
- Global delivery options and 24/7 access to digital reporting.
Tax-Efficient Settlement in Hong Kong
One of the strongest benefits of corporate gold custody is access to Hong Kong’s tax regime:
- 0% profit tax on gold sales and withdrawals.
- Settlement available via traditional banking channels (SWIFT/SEPA) or stablecoins (USDT, USDC, ETH).
- High liquidity without unnecessary spreads or hidden costs.
- Efficient cross-border settlement for corporate structures.
Security & Transparency for Clients
Corporate gold custody combines regulatory compliance with independent oversight:
- Over 500M$ insured coverage for vaulted assets.
- Secure vaults in Dubai and Hong Kong under LBMA standards.
- 24/7 client access to barlists, statements, and compliance records.
- Independent audit verification ensuring institutional-grade transparency.
Why Corporations Choose Gold Custody Solutions
- Capital protection through physical assets not tied to fiat devaluation.
- Tax optimization with 0% profit tax in Hong Kong.
- Liquidity with settlement flexibility via banks or crypto.
- Compliance clarity with AML/KYC alignment and transparent contracts.
