SHOPHow you store your physical assets is a personal decision. Your bullion is emphatically yours, and how you wish to secure it is completely up to you. Because of the high value and portability of these products, we encourage all clients to determine their storage and insurance plans before completing their transactions with Guildhall. We also, of course, offer a world-class security option.
The Guildhall-partnered depository
Our depository clients include those who purchase platinum, gold, and silver directly through us, as well as clients who trust us to store their previously acquired bullion. The latter is very common among clients who are new Canadians as well as people who have recently received an inheritance.
Guildhall accommodates both local and international clients with vaults in:
- Toronto, Canada (IIROC-approved)
- Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands
- Delaware, USA
- Singapore, Republic of Singapore
Many of our clients are surprised by how economical our security services are – especially compared to account management rates which offer no guarantees of the security of your investment. While we offer a tiered structure of storage options, our depository might not make sense for everyone, or for all of your bullion. We’ll never pressure you to make use of our vaults, especially if you have options that are better suited for you, financially or personally.
Optimize your sale with short-term vault storage
In order to have logistics and timing on their side, some of our clients transfer their gold and silver into our vaults prior to having us broker a sale on their behalf. If you’ve been holding onto your precious metals for a long time and see a window of opportunity approaching, speak with our team about how we can utilize our vault and brokerage services to your benefit.
That said, many of our clients, particularly those who are growing their gold and silver portfolio, holding precious metals as part of a wealth-building plan, or those who open a Registered Precious Metals Account, make use of our IIROC-approved secure vault in Ontario. These clients appreciate the extra security and benefits – both physical and financial – that come with using our depository services.
Storing your platinum, gold, and silver bullion in the Guildhall-partnered vaults can provide you with peace of mind thanks to several factors:
- International and national standards of security are vigilantly upheld, and include continual investments in technology and highly-trained security personnel provided by Brinks.
- International and national standards of authenticating and documenting the contents of your depository account are in place.
- Insurance for all contents is underwritten by Lloyds of London.
- In-person or photographed audits of your account can be performed when requested.
- In-person visits and withdrawals can be arranged so that you can access and make use of our bullion when needed.
- When it comes time to sell some of your platinum, gold, or silver, Guildhall can facilitate that sale on your behalf far more easily and quickly when the gold is in our vaults – a major perk for clients who are working with sensitive timelines.
- For those interested in tax saving options, physical gold and silver purchases can qualify to be included in an RSP when stored in our IIROC-approved facility in Ontario.
