LONDON, 22 December 2010 - Secure gold ownership service BullionVault features today as the lowest-cost provider reviewed by leading UK consumer champion magzine, Which?
First published by the Consumers' Association charity in 1957, and ranked No.5 for UK media brands in 2010 by the Superbrands Index, Which? compares seven different gold-investment firms, all listed on market-development group the World Gold Council's website.
Only BullionVault is formally backed and endorsed by the World Gold Council, and it is one of only two companies studied by Which? to be a member of professional trade body the London Bullion Market Association.
The only firm to have won a Queen's Award for Enterprise, the West London-based business is also ranked No.21 in The Sunday Times' Fast Track 100 of privately-owned UK companies.
"BullionVault operates an online, 24-hour gold exchange," where investors can offer to buy or sell," notes Which? in its four-page review of the gold-investment choices for UK consumers.
"This means the premiums on the spot price are much lower..."
Which? magazine's price-comparison table shows BullionVault is markedly cheaper than competing services for physical gold storage, charging as little as 0.12% per year of the value of each customer's holding.
Which? magazine is available by subscription only.
