Gold Custody
Gold custody services provide a secure and transparent way to hold investment-grade bullion under institutional standards. Allocated gold is stored in international vaults, insured by global underwriters, and verified through independent audits. This structure transforms physical gold into a fully recognized and compliant financial asset.
Why Gold Custody Matters
Physical ownership of gold protects against currency risk, inflation, and market volatility. But for investors, funds, and family offices, secure custody is essential to:
- Guarantee full segregation of holdings with clear ownership rights
- Access audited and certified reports for compliance and accounting
- Ensure global insurance protection against loss or damage
- Facilitate settlement across borders under AML/KYC frameworks
- Maintain liquidity and trust in institutional transactions
Custody provides not only safety but also financial recognition, making gold part of an auditable, regulated portfolio.
Key Features of Gold Custody
- Allocated Vault Storage
Each client’s bars are allocated and registered under individual ownership, stored in secure vaults in Dubai and Hong Kong. - Comprehensive Insurance
All holdings are covered by international all-risk policies, ensuring full protection of bullion while in custody. - Independent Verification
Third-party audits from global inspection firms confirm the presence, weight, and segregation of every bar. - Settlement Compliance
Transactions are processed via SWIFT, SEPA, or approved digital assets, fully compliant with AML/KYC requirements. - Continuous Reporting
Clients receive 24/7 digital access to barlists, audit confirmations, and insurance certificates, ensuring complete transparency.
Benefits for Institutional Clients
- Regulatory alignment: Custody holdings meet FATF and OECD compliance standards.
- Financial transparency: Reports support balance sheets, treasury oversight, and external audits.
- Global accessibility: Vaults in recognized financial hubs provide access to international markets.
- Operational efficiency: Settlement, reporting, and verification are integrated into one infrastructure.
This makes gold custody not only a storage solution but a financial instrument accepted by regulators, auditors, and counterparties.
Institutional Confidence in Custody
The foundation of trust lies in independent verification and global governance. By combining secure vaults, comprehensive insurance, and compliance with international regulations, custody delivers confidence for investors at every stage. This model ensures gold is both physically protected and institutionally recognized across jurisdictions.
Conclusion
Gold custody unites the physical security of bullion with the transparency and trust of institutional infrastructure. Each holding is insured, audited, and continuously reported, providing clients with a reliable and compliant framework for managing gold as a long-term financial asset.
