How it works
Four steps, clearly explained
01
Decide how much you'd like to invest
Use the calculator to explore amounts from £100. Because silver costs less per ounce, even a modest amount buys a meaningful allocation of physical metal.
02
We show you exactly what you will own
Using the live silver spot price, we calculate your precise percentage of a certified 999 fine 1kg bar. You see the figures before you commit.
03
Your holding is confirmed and insured
Once you proceed, you receive written confirmation of your ownership, and your metal is fully insured in an audited UK vault from day one.
04
Monitor your holding and sell when you choose
There is no lock-in period. When you are ready to sell, contact us and we will buy your holding back at the prevailing market price and settle promptly.
Why many investors start with silver
A lower entry price, physical metal and a long history
A fraction of gold's price
Silver trades at a fraction of gold's price per ounce, so £100 buys a much larger weight of physical metal.
Industrial demand
Silver is also used in solar panels, electronics and electric vehicles, so demand comes from industry as well as from investors.
We guide you through everything
You do not need to understand commodity markets, spot pricing or vaulting. We explain everything clearly, without jargon or pressure.
Add to your holding over time
Many of our clients start small and add to their holding over time. There is no requirement to commit more than you are comfortable with.
