How is my holding priced?
At the live spot price on payment. We confirm your allocation in grams and as a percentage of the bar before you commit.

How do I sell my holding?

Is this regulated?
Fractional bullion investment is an unregulated activity. Your capital is at risk and the value of your holding may go down as well as up. This is not financial advice.
