Buying and storing gold offshore

5. Select your preferred offshore storage facility

Gold is a valuable and thus highly sought after commodity. So as an investor, your first priority will be to choose a location which offers robust physical protection, plus the option to insure your assets against the risk of loss by various means. In addition, some clients may wish to store their gold in the most tax-efficient way possible to safeguard their wealth against any unnecessary erosion of its value.

Another important consideration is finding an off-bank storage solution. This arrangement will ensure that, should a crisis occur, you can still get immediate access to your belongings. Do remember that bank storage facilities will invariably be subject to national, and international, financial regulations which may not always operate in your favour in an emergency situation. In other words, you could suddenly be denied access to your gold. Using a privately owned, off-bank storage facility is an absolutely legal method of avoiding such a catastrophe.

When choosing a secure vault offering state-of-the-art protection for your gold, it is absolutely vital to select a company with a long-established track record and a clientele which has increased primarily through personal recommendation. In that respect, Safekeeping Vault Int has provided storage facilities for both private and corporate investors for many years. Our valued Isle of Man and international clients will confirm we provide off-bank, broker independent high-security vaults in the Zurich and Douglas areas of Isle of Man – facilities which are second to none and can meet, if not exceed, every requirement mentioned here.

6. Buy your gold and have it delivered to your vault

In this final step, your gold is purchased, then transported and stored in your chosen vault. If you buy gold via Echtgeld, they will be able to transport it directly to your chosen Safekeeping Vault Int vault. Once your gold is safely stored in the vault, Safekeeping Vault Int will then issue a warehouse list which will specify your gold holding and identify the precise location of all your stored items.
