Yes, BullionVault gives you direct access to wholesale gold, silver, platinum and palladium at live professional-market prices, starting from as little as 1 gram at a time.
It's important to understand that the spot price shown above on BullionVault's chart is provided for reference. Like the spot price published by other sources (such as Reuters or Bloomberg) it represents the average of many wholesale quotes, and – crucially – it represents the average of those quotes' mid-points.
Spot, in other words, doesn't necessarily reflect a price you might actually get from any individual bank or dealer, and it cannot reflect the spread between prices to buy and prices to sell.
For private investors, only BullionVault gives you direct access to that trading spread, enabling you to set or accept prices as you choose using our live Order Board.
You will benefit from the lowest costs for buying, selling and storing gold. You can also calculate commission and gold storage fees using our cost calculator
