Ownership and Security
Allocated storage provides the safest and most transparent way to hold Clear Title to your precious metals. You, as the direct owner, maintain full control over your assets. Strategic Gold, the vault custodian, or any other entity does not hold ownership.
Comparison: Allocated vs. Unallocated Storage
Allocated metals are not reflected on Strategic Gold’s balance sheet or the vault operator’s. Instead, these assets belong solely to you and are not considered financial liabilities. By contrast, unallocated metals are listed as company assets, with customer claims appearing as liabilities. In case of bankruptcy, creditors could claim unallocated assets, leaving customers without access to their metals.
Protection Against Bankruptcy
Because Strategic Gold exclusively offers allocated storage, your metals remain your property and never appear as assets or liabilities on our books. Even if Strategic Gold or our vault partners face financial difficulties, creditors cannot claim your metals. As a result, your assets remain secure.
