Two ways to hold vaulted metal — both fully allocated and insured. Choose the one that fits your goals, or split your holdings across both.
Segregated storage
Your specific bars and coins are physically set aside and tagged to you — never mixed with anyone else's metal. You take delivery of the exact same serial-numbered items you deposited, with direct title in your name.
- ✓ Your exact items, returned to you
- ✓ Direct title & individual ownership
- ✓ IRA-eligible
- ✓ Ideal for larger & collectible holdings
Pooled (allocated) storage
You own a defined quantity of ounces of a given metal, fully allocated within professionally-managed vault inventory and insured the same way — at a lower annual storage rate. The most cost-effective route for positions you plan to trade.
- ✓ Lowest annual storage cost
- ✓ Fully allocated & insured ounces
- ✓ Fast, frictionless trading
- ✓ Great for building a position over time
