FAQ

A precious metal depository is an established and popular investment solution, in which precious metals, such as gold, silver, platinum and palladium, are acquired and stored in high-security vaults from Rheingold Edelmetall AG in Liechtenstein.

With the precious metal depository, Rheingold Edelmetall AG offers an established service that optimally combines physical and virtual investments.  This service is an addition to the classic trading of precious metals by mail order, or "over the counter" (OTC).

The precious metal depository works like a securities account, but instead of securities, precious metals are deposited. Rheingold Edelmetall AG has transferred this proven principle over to commercially available precious metals, like coins and precious metal bars. This means that you can carry out your precious metal transactions as easily as you deposit and withdraw money from your account.

Rheingold Edelmetall AG offers the popular collective custody of gold, silver, platinum and palladium products in their precious metal depository. This collective custody is very simple and offers customers the greatest possible security and flexibility.

In contrast to many other services for gold investors, those goods are actually physically available at all times.

The only difference to individual custody is, that in the event of a later delivery, the exact product that was brought into collective custody at the time of purchase is not delivered. This aspect is, however, negligible for investors, because for example, when you bought a 100 gram goldbar you will always receive a 100 gram goldbar from a recognized manufacturer or, when you bought a Krugerrand gold coin, you will receive a randomly selected coin vintage of the Krugerrand.

The precious metal depository is equally suitable for private customers, banks, financial advisors and precious metal dealers.
