Gold, Silver & Platinum Products

OneGold offers three types of products, U.S. Products, Switzerland Products and VaultChain Products.

U.S. Gold, U.S. Silver and U.S. Platinum Products consist of physical investment grade retail products. Switzerland Gold, VaultChain Gold and VaultChain Silver represent fractional ownership in London good delivery bars or pooled positions. These bars or positions are purchased directly through wholesalers and often do not carry the premiums associated with smaller, retail products.

All products purchased through OneGold are physically backed on a 1:1 basis and are typically purchased in large quantities. Therefore, we can offer ownership of these metals at better rates.

Many ETFs charge between 40 and 60 basis points per year for management fees. OneGold charges only a small storage fee of 12 basis points yearly for gold and 30 basis points yearly for silver and platinum. In comparison to owning physical metal, which is both cumbersome and risky, the digital option is an economical solution. The spread on the digital metals is generally much tighter compared to the spread on physical metals.

OneGold will only settle any digital asset transactions which are backed by 100% physical metal.

VaultChain Gold and VaultChain Silver are held at the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM). All precious metals stored within the RCM’s network of vaults are guaranteed ounce for ounce by the Royal Canadian Mint, a Crown corporation wholly owned by the Government of Canada. VaultChain holdings are recorded and maintained on a distributed ledger, which is updated and verified by OneGold and Royal Canadian Mint daily. You may access the ledger by clicking on the View Ledger link on the dashboard page in your OneGold account.

U.S. Products and Switzerland Products are guaranteed by OneGold. Metal positions are independently verified twice a year by one of the top 10 provider of audit, tax and consulting services. OneGold performs a daily reconciliation of the balances between the physical metal at storage and actual balance in the OneGold account. On Switzerland Products, OneGold receives a Loomis inventory list identifying the specifics of each bar owned by OneGold and its customers, including bar refinery, bar number, bar weight and bar fineness.

All your stored precious metals are fully owned by you and you maintain full legal ownership and title to your physical metal.

VaultChain Gold and VaultChain Silver are stored at the Royal Canadian Mint (RCM). Royal Canadian Mint has more than 100 years of experience in providing secure precious metals storage services. The RCM maintains its own insurance policy for loss, damage or destruction of precious metals while in its care as part of its risk management program. In the event of a loss, the RCM, a wholly owned Crown corporation of the AAA credit-rated Government of Canada, would reimburse its customers per the terms of its agreements.
