Where and how is physical gold stored?
One practical question with physical gold is secure storage. What options are there?
At home or in a specialised vault?
Storing at home carries risks (theft, fire). This is why many people choose insured, specialised European vault storage.
How does vault storage work?
The purchased metal can be held in a segregated stock as a co-ownership share, insured according to the partner's information (theft, fire, water) and audited annually by an independent auditor.
The holding is visible in the online office to the exact gram and euro; the metal can be withdrawn or delivered in accordance with the terms.
What happens in the event of the company's insolvency?
Because of the segregated storage and client ownership, under the current interpretation the holding is not part of the company's insolvency estate; the exact legal framework is set out in the partner documentation.
