Who Is Strategic Gold Corporation?2024-12-10T16:10:09-05:00

In the late 1970s, American and European family businesses formed an alliance, now operating under Universal Services Inc. This international partnership has since created and administered financial products and services, including Brokerage, Investment Advisory, Fund Administration, Real Estate, and Precious Metals.

Each family business contributes its expertise, bringing distinct historical and geopolitical perspectives. As a result, we have consistently delivered innovative products and services that adapt to changing regulatory and market environments.

From the start, the partners recognized the importance of including gold in a balanced portfolio. Our multi-generational experience, spanning two continents, has always featured a gold component. Strategic Gold follows in the footsteps of:

  • Anchor Gold and Currency Trust, a closed-end mutual fund investing in gold, currencies, and sovereign debt (1982-2001)
  • Universal Gold Limited, an offshore corporation offering equity ownership of physical gold (1990-present)

Strategic Gold’s Clear Title Accounts combine the liquidity, transparency, and professional administration of modern financial products with the security of tangible assets. These accounts eliminate counterparty and capital market risk, protecting our clients’ wealth while positioning it for potential profit during systemic disruptions.

How Is Strategic Gold Different?2024-12-10T16:08:23-05:00

Strategic Gold Corporation facilitates direct, uncompromised ownership of precious metals by connecting investors with the Primary Bullion Market through our Clear Title Program.

We prioritize risk management. Our company was founded in response to the systemic risks exposed during the 2007-2009 financial crisis, risks that continue to pose threats today.

We believe the best way to protect against systemic risk is to own reserve assets and safe-haven assets outside the financial system. Physical gold and silver uniquely meet this criterion as they are highly liquid and independent of financial institutions.

Key Features of Our Program:
  • Diversification through Direct Ownership of Fully Allocated Physical Bullion
  • Access to the Primary Bullion Market (one of the largest capital markets)
  • Immediate Order Execution at the Spot Market Price
  • Liquidity: Buy and Sell at Your Discretion with no lock-up period
  • Secure Global Storage Options
  • Semi-Annual Independent Audit Statements
  • No Burdensome Reporting Requirements
  • Customized solutions for individual goals
  • Ongoing support and education

We provide administrative services and accredited safekeeping to ensure your precious metals investment seamlessly integrates into a modern portfolio.

Where Does Strategic Gold Purchase Precious Metals?2024-12-10T16:14:48-05:00

Strategic Gold purchases precious metals from refiners recognized by the LBMA for producing Good Delivery Bars. Through our trading account in the Primary Bullion Market, we ensure our clients receive competitive prices in the wholesale market.

We have access to the wholesale Primary Bullion Market, a marketplace traditionally reserved for Central Banks, Bullion Banks, government agencies, and large institutional traders. Thanks to our long-standing position, we allow retail investors to purchase smaller quantities of gold or silver at wholesale prices, usually reserved for larger entities. Consequently, our clients benefit from the best prices available.

How Can The Gold And Silver Prices Be So Good?2024-12-10T16:16:29-05:00

Thanks to our long-standing relationships in the Primary Bullion Market, the Clear Title Program provides significant advantages. Clients can quickly and efficiently buy and sell precious metals at prices typically reserved for large institutional customers. Therefore, clients benefit from the wholesale Spot Market Price, usually available to large traders, refineries, government agencies, Central Banks, and Bullion Banks.

What Fees Does Strategic Gold Charge?2024-12-10T16:17:44-05:00

Strategic Gold charges a transaction fee on purchases and sales. We do not impose fabrication fees, vault in/out fees, or other hidden premiums or commissions.

Administrative Services Fee:

Clients in the Clear Title Program pay an annual Administrative Services Fee. The fee is 0.75% of the market value of their gold bullion holdings and 0.875% of the market value of their silver bullion holdings. Billed quarterly, this fee covers custody, vault storage, semi-annual audits, insurance, and comprehensive reporting.

Strategic Gold delivers transparency and ease of transaction, allowing you to buy and sell gold at Spot Market prices in the Primary Bullion Market.

Where Is My Personal Data Kept?2024-12-10T16:21:26-05:00

The Clear Title Program protects your identity and bullion holdings. We store your information at our corporate office in Naples, Florida. We never release it for marketing purposes or share it with third parties. An electronic copy of your documents is securely maintained.

We prioritize client privacy. Clients are not identified by name to partner companies involved in the Clear Title Program. Additionally, all client information is encrypted and stored on secure servers, physically isolated from the internet. Redundant backups are stored offsite in a secure facility.

All transactions are processed using a coded client identification number, ensuring maximum confidentiality.

Is Strategic Gold A Bank?2024-12-10T16:21:48-05:00

No. Strategic Gold is not a bank as we do not make loans or take deposits. Each specific bullion bar administered through our Clear Title Program is allocated to a specific account, which means the accountholder always owns it directly.

Furthermore, Strategic Gold does not engage in speculative trading, margin trading, futures, hedging, or derivative positions, and we do not incur indebtedness of any kind.

Is Strategic Gold A Collective Investment Scheme?2024-12-10T16:22:06-05:00

No. Strategic Gold is not a collective investment scheme. We do not commingle assets, offer pooled accounts, or share ownership of bullion bars.

Client assets, whether cash or bullion, are never held on the balance sheet of Strategic Gold.

Is Strategic Gold A Money Transmitter?2024-12-10T16:22:29-05:00

No. Strategic Gold is not a money transmitter and is not subject to regulation as a Money Services Business (MSB). All money used to fund Clear Title Account purchases must originate from the bank account disclosed during account setup. Likewise, disbursements are sent back to the same account.

This “closed system” ensures we are not classified as a Money Transmitter.

What Happens If Strategic Gold Ceases To Exist?2024-12-10T16:23:15-05:00

If Strategic Gold ceases to exist, your allocated gold and silver remain your legal property. Ownership of your gold investments does not depend on the company’s existence because client bullion assets never appear on our balance sheet.

If Strategic Gold becomes unable to fulfill its obligations due to force majeure, bankruptcy, or dissolution, the Strategic Gold Operational Procedures for Circumstances In Extremis will be initiated. We have established an independent Trustee to protect the individual property rights of our clients. This Trustee has access to our critical systems and database, ensuring continued administration of the Clear Title Program for the benefit of each client. Our custodian (Loomis International) and trading partners will also recognize the Trustee as the lawful agent in such circumstances.

We believe our business model sets us apart from most firms in the industry, where client funds can be at risk from business failures or extreme market conditions. Our platform provides a superior way to invest in gold, offering certainty of ownership and minimizing systemic risk.
