The Firm
A desk built by people who have stood on a refinery floor.
StormVest allocates client capital into physically held bullion and contracted energy positions, cleared and vaulted under the same disciplines used by the trade itself — not adapted from a retail brokerage template.
Founded by market practitioners
Aurum Holdings was formed in 2011 by a group drawn from bullion clearing and refinery offtake. The intent was simple: give private clients the allocation discipline that institutions take for granted.
Our mandate
To hold real assets, in named vaults, under independent assay - and to report on them plainly. We do not run synthetic exposure and we do not lend client metal.

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.
