THE WORLD OF PHYSICAL PRECIOUS METALS
A world of bullion.
A clearer view.
Understand the metal. Compare the ownership.
See the costs behind the price.
02 / OWNERSHIP MATTERS
Same metal.
Different arrangements.
Ask what you own, where it is held,
and how you can access it.
| The question | Physical delivery | Allocated custody | Unallocated account |
|---|---|---|---|
| What do you hold? | The delivered bars or coins. | Title to identified bars held by a custodian. | A contractual claim against the account provider. |
| What should you verify? | Authenticity, secure receipt and insurance. | Bar records, custody agreement and insurance scope. | Provider credit risk and the account terms. |
| How do you exit? | Arrange a sale and physical transfer. | Check sale and withdrawal terms and fees. | Check settlement and conversion rights. |
Account definitions: LBMA clearing guide →. Arrangements depend on the individual agreement.
