Allocated Gold Holdings
Segregated, title-based gold holdings verified against a documented bar list.
Allocated bullion holdings — gold and other precious metals — custodied under segregated, title-based arrangements rather than pooled creditor claims.
Precious metals investment means holding physical bullion — gold, and sometimes silver, platinum, or palladium — as a tangible asset. The defining question is not whether to hold metal, but how it is stored: allocated, meaning you hold direct legal title to specific, identified bars, or unallocated, meaning you hold a general claim against a pool with no title to specific metal.
Investors hold precious metals because the asset tends to behave differently from equities and bonds, and because physical ownership — properly structured — carries no dependence on a company's performance or a government's policy decisions.
The mechanics of precious metals ownership centre on custody, not price movement.
Metal is sourced through recognised market channels, typically as recognised bar formats with documented provenance.
