Gold Within Your Treasury Management Strategy

How to add gold bullion as part of your corporate treasury strategy. #

BullionVault enables private individuals, organisations and corporations around the world access to the professional bullion markets at the lowest costs.

As the world’s largest online investment gold service, we take care of $4.1 billion for companies and wealthy individuals with a number of our biggest customers holding more than $10m in bullion with us.

BullionVault provides corporations with a means to diversify cash management activity by providing a service to buy, store and sell gold, silver bullion palladium and platinum. Trades are executed in real time through our order board with the bullion or cash being settled instantaneously and proceeds immediately available to be returned to a client’s bank account.

Alternatively, larger customers who are able to deal in whole bars (400-oz/12.4 kg) can access the professional market directly through us with a telephone order that will take two days to settle. For smaller trades customers can access wholesale liquidity themselves, on those same two-day terms, through the Daily Price function.

You can choose to buy, store and trade gold or silver in Zurich, London, New York, Singapore or Toronto. BullionVault employs specialist non-bank custodians Loomis International, Malca-Amit and Brinks Inc. to care for client property. Every day the formal bar lists which these independent vault operators produce are reconciled online - for your scrutiny - against the full list of all client holdings. This Daily Audit is further scrutinized by BullionVault's independent financial auditors, and their report - confirming that the documents are genuine and the sum totals match - is published on their own website.

BullionVault is a full member of the London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and a winner of two Queens Awards for enterprise. You can download from Companies House the latest audited accounts for Galmarley Limited, which operates and trades solely as BullionVault (company number: 04943684).
