Owning gold can mean very different things.

There is a fundamental difference between having exposure to the price of gold and actually owning physical metal that is specifically allocated to you.

In this Aurum Helvetica Video Insight, we look at what physical ownership actually means — from direct ownership and allocation to storage, access and control.



What does physical ownership actually mean?

When purchasing precious metals, investors should understand more than the market price. The structure behind the ownership matters too.

Who legally owns the metal? Is it specifically allocated to you? Where is it stored? Can it be accessed or sold when needed? And is your ownership dependent on another financial institution?

At Aurum Helvetica, we believe physical precious metals should be tangible, clearly owned and held with purpose.

Invest. Store. Belong.
