2. How do I know my gold really exists?
Only physical gold bullion is tradable on
The Real Asset Company ‘s
platform, fully backed by investment gold
bullion in secure, professional vaults. The
Internal Audit shows statements from the
vault providers verifying that all gold
investments are 100% backed at a 1-1
ratio.
This is markedly different from savings in
a bank, where each £1 is often only
backed by 5p of equity – just a 5%
backing. This is why we believe our
platform is a better option for savers.

3. What purity is the gold and silver bullion?
Only gold and silver of 995 and
999 parts per thousand pure
respectively, can be traded on our
platform.
Sourcing bullion from approved
professional market sources
means only gold and silver from
the ‘chain of integrity’ can be
accessed by our clients.
Buying bullion of guaranteed
purity ensures the integrity of your
gold investment, and a higher
resale value.

4. How safe is my gold?

investments are your legal property.
This means that you are never a
creditor of The Real Asset
Company, and your bullion can never
appear on our balance sheet. Read

vaults

specialists. These vault

or securitise precious metals

peace of mind when you buy
gold online.
