Why Physical
Metal and crude, not a promise on a screen
Scarcity, not sentiment
Gold and silver are mined, not minted. Allocations track assets that cannot be diluted by policy, and that have held purchasing power through every currency cycle.
A demand floor from industry
Platinum, Brent and WTI are consumed daily by refiners, manufacturers and utilities. That structural offtake underwrites value where a purely speculative asset cannot.
Custody you can audit
Every allocation is held with named, approved vaults and refiners. Assay reports and bar lists are available to any client on request — nothing sits in a black box.
The Book
What the desk allocates

Custody
Three disciplines, applied without exception
Every allocation, metal or energy, is held against the same custody standard — segregated, assayed, and audited on a fixed cadence.
Vaulting & segregation
Bullion is held in bonded, insured vaults, allocated to named client accounts rather than pooled. Energy positions are contracted and cleared through counterparties audited to the same standard.
Assay & good delivery
Metal accepted onto the book must carry a good-delivery assay from a recognised refiner. Bar lists and assay certificates are retained against every allocation and available on request.
Audit cadence
An independent reconciliation of vault holdings against client ledgers runs quarterly, with a full statutory audit annually. Findings are logged, not summarised away.
The Difference
A bar with a serial number, not a row in a database
