Common Questions
Clear, direct answers about precious metals allocation and strategy.
How do I know the metals are authentic?▼
Every metal is independently certified by third-party labs. Certification includes origin verification, purity testing, and weight confirmation. You have full documentation. No trust required—just facts.
What's the difference between allocated and physical?▼
Allocated metals are held in a third-party vault with your name on the holdings. Physical metals come to you directly. Allocated is easier to buy/sell globally. Physical gives you direct ownership. Choose based on your preference and situation.
Is this the right time to buy?▼
Timing individual purchases is impossible. But timing your allocation framework is essential. Central banks are buying now. Family offices are positioning now. The trend is structural, not cyclical. Ask yourself: In 5 years, will I wish I had started earlier? If yes, the answer is probably now.
How much should I allocate?▼
Institutional frameworks suggest 5-15% based on portfolio size and risk tolerance. Some add more for geopolitical hedging. Some less for growth focus. The framework: Start with what makes you sleep at night, then optimize from there.
What about volatility?▼
Precious metals do move. But they move differently than stocks. When stocks crash, metals often hold or gain. That's the entire point—uncorrelated diversification. Think of it as portfolio insurance, not a return generator.
Can I sell whenever I want?▼
Yes. Market-rate buyback guaranteed. No negotiation. We handle the sale process. The metals are liquid—easily converted to cash if needed. This is the opposite of illiquid assets.
