BullionVault enables you to trade the purest gold at the tiniest spreads…with no delivery charges, minimal insurance fees, and lower storage costs than your local bank.

Your pure gold, just like the seven tonnes of gold now stored on behalf of people from 62 different countries worldwide, is held in the form of 400 ounce “good delivery” bars. It will retain full resale value on the professional market.

When a bank sells you unallocated gold, you become the bank’s creditor. It owes you the gold in other words, and you do not own the asset you’ve bought. The gold is only available to you if the bank remains solvent.

And if it doesn’t…?

This  gold, on the other hand, will never be used, lent or sold by the vault where it’s stored.  Nor is it merely “backed” by gold like a trust-based certificate.

Legally and in all eventualities, even a run on the banks, the collapse of the Dollar, Sterling or Euro, a stock market meltdown or a crash in the $700 (£450) trillion global derivatives market…your gold will still be yours.

Marrying two technological innovations that had both passed the precious metals market by entirely.

The first innovation is the Depository Trust Company’s model for making financial trading safe, simple and efficient, just like the UK’s central stock depository CREST , it keeps shares and government bonds in safe-keeping, storing them in a physical location.

Only the ownership needs to change hands between the buyer and seller which makes a cheaper and faster settlement, Paul Tustain, developed I.T. systems to handle CREST dealing for Europe’s very biggest investment banks which means that trades are settled instantly with gold that’s already safe inside the vault.

This cuts your risk of counter-party default down to zero.

The second innovation, the internet-based system in the UK that matches orders from private buyers and sellers directly across the internet. This cuts out the middleman entirely, reducing your costs and giving you direct access to the dealing spread.

Your gold investment  will be stored and insured by ViaMat, the privately-owned Swiss storage company in your choice of vault in New York, London or Zurich.

Keeping your gold in ViaMat’s high-security vaults makes the actuarial risk of loss so small that it costs only 0.12% per year to store your gold with insurance included. That’s less than a third what you would pay to store your gold in a bank through an exchange traded gold fund.

Thanks to BullionVault’s instant online trading and settlement system, you can trade your gold, buying and selling to take your profits or add to your holding whenever gold moves up or down to the price you have been waiting for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This means that you can trade after the stock market closes and before trading resumes in Asia next morning.

Your gold will remain in that specially approved bullion vault so its resale value will be at the “spot” price you see in the papers and on the internet.

A daily audit is published which means that you can check your holding within the vault on the internet from anywhere in the world and it will be confirmed by the actual physical bars indicated on the ViaMat bar list.

This is very simple, but also very important. When you open an account, you are given your own unique ‘nickname’ only known to you, no third party will know that you’re storing a portion of your wealth offshore.

Every day a complete list of every ‘nickname’ holding gold is published. This list is published on the internet and the total sum value of the list (with your nickname on it) adds up to exactly the value of the bar list issued by ViaMat.

In short, this means that you can see in a transparent yet discreet way what your holding in the system is, every day.

IS IT TIME TO BUY GOLD?

Gold is not affected when financial collapse causes inflation or deflation, because of its limited supply and its characteristics.  Holders of gold can keep it knowing that it will retain its value.  Gold can lose some value during periods of strong economic growth, however it will not become worthless like some currencies have in recent years.

The trend in gold prices turned higher at the start of this decade, since then gold has quadrupled and more. Compared to previous gold trends there could very well be even bigger rises in the future.    

New Gold Investment

New investment in gold is set to continue to  grow if the world’s major currencies continue to decline in value.  The over-supply of Dollars, Euros, Pounds and Yen appear set to continue pushing gold prices even higher.

If you fear for your savings — and you want to start investing in gold — you can buy gold bars at BullionVault.

This ground-breaking service really does give you unique access to live gold market prices, cutting out the middleman and slashing the costs of investing in gold “dramatically” as the Financial Times recently noted.  

PURE GOLD AT THE TIGHTEST PRICES

Making Investing in Gold Simple, Secure & Cost Effective

If you invest in gold via BullionVault it remains stored deep underground in a secure vault in Zurich, Switzerland.

Your gold is stored as part of a 400 ounce gold bar, the only kind of bullion that professional dealers and international banks will buy and sell. It is 99.5% pure gold or better.

It has never left the care of professional bullion vault operators, not since the day it was first cast, assayed, and delivered to the vault in Switzerland.

This ensures that your gold is guaranteed to be of the highest quality. Therefore you can forget about wide dealing spreads between the buying and selling price.  It will trade on the international gold market  almost bang on the ‘spot’ price you see quoted on the internet and in the newspapers.  

Your gold will remain within that 400 ounce bar to keep its integrity and value.  The bar, worth more than $640,000 (£430,000) at today’s price will stay safe and secure in the bullion vault.

The quality of a gold bar must be guaranteed if it’s going to trade on the international gold market. Wall Street banks, London bullion traders and Tokyo investment funds only deal in top-quality warranted gold. –  and now you can join them.
