Capital at risk · Not financial advice
Why gold
Direct ownership, not a paper claim.
A fund or exchange-traded product gives you exposure to the gold price. Here you hold fractional title to a specific, identifiable bar of physical gold.
Identifiable bar
Your holding is allocated to one serial-numbered 999.9 bar, shown on your certificate of ownership.
Professional custody
Vaulting and insurance are arranged for you, with your holding recorded in your name.
Accessible entry
From £250, rather than the £— cost of a whole 1kg bar.
No lock-in period
Request a sale from your investor account whenever you choose, with no early-exit penalties.

Gold questions
Before you invest in gold
Which bar is my holding allocated to?
A specific serial-numbered 1kg bar in the vault, such as BGE-G-26-001, shown on your certificate. A bar is never allocated beyond its weight.
Is there a minimum holding period?
No. You can sell your holding back at any time, with no lock-in period or early-exit penalty.
How is my holding priced?
At the live gold spot price on payment. We confirm your allocation in grams and as a percentage of the bar before you commit.
What happens when the gold price moves?
Your allocation of the bar stays the same. Its market value rises and falls with the live gold price.
How do I sell my holding?
Request a sale from your investor account or by phone. We confirm the prevailing buy-back price for your holding and settle to your bank within one working day.
Is this regulated?
Fractional gold 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.
