The Global Gold Precious Metals Storage Program is safe and convenient. This sounds simple enough. However, when dealing with physical precious metals - including gold, silver, platinum and palladium bullion bars and coins - achieving both the highest possible safety and convenience is no trivial feat. While many programs CLAIM to be safe and convenient, Global Gold in fact does DELIVER, and here is why:
100% and physically yours!
The Global Gold Program is unique in that it offers physically allocated metals only. You have full ownership of REAL goods. You own real, PHYSICAL bullion coins and bars.
With Global Gold, you do NOT own a fraction of a coin, a legal claim to a partial gold bar, or the digital entry of some unit of precious metals out in cyberspace. The bars and coins are in fact stored physically in Global Gold's high-security vaults. They are not pledged, leased or removed in any other way.
The Program is set up to facilitate physical delivery within Switzerland or internationally at all times. Whenever you want to sell or deliver YOUR metals, you give your orders and it is done.
100% professional grade bullion!
The product purchased through Global Gold is professional grade only.
All coins and bars are assayed and, therefore, can be sold fluidly by Global Gold, once you decide to liquidate all or part of your holdings.
100% safe!
Possibly, there is no such thing as 100% safety. However, the Global Gold Program is geared toward achieving that ideal, 24/7!
The metals stored with Global Gold are fully insured, kept in high-security storage vaults of security class I (top Swiss status).
The inventory of Global Gold metals are inspected regularly by the Swiss customs department and audited auditied annually by one of the big four accounting firms.
100% tax-free!
In Switzerland, physically delivered precious metals (except gold) are subject to an 7.6% Value Added Tax (VAT). However, Global Gold has structured the Program to avoid that tax.
Your precious metals are stored in a high-security vault within a Swiss tax-free zone. And, the transactions (buying and selling) of the metals are also conducted there.
Logistically, making this possible has its challenges. But, Global Gold has mastered this setup and therefore offers a system that provides for tax-free trading at the highest possible safety level.
100% Swiss!
Selecting the best possible location to deposit your assets and safe-keep your precious metals is a critical decision in your overall wealth preservation strategy. For many investors, Switzerland is at the top of the list.
Many factors speak for Switzerland, ranging from global competitiveness (ranked number 1 in the world 2009), to political stability, safety, a strong currency or a highly educated work force.
It all sums up to a jurisdiction with solid rule of law and a centuries-old tradition of financial service excellence and client confidentiality.
When we are asked why Switzerland? Or, why Global Gold? We ask, what else?
