Please Read This Carefully
Investing in precious metals involves risks. This page outlines those risks so you can make an informed decision.
Market Risk
Precious metals prices fluctuate based on market conditions, economic factors, and investor sentiment. The value of your holdings can decrease as well as increase. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
Liquidity Risk
Physical precious metals are not as liquid as stocks or bonds. Selling requires finding a buyer and completing a physical transaction, which takes more time than selling securities electronically. You should not invest money you may need immediate access to.
Storage Risk
If you choose home storage, you are responsible for securing your metals against theft or loss. Home storage may not be covered by standard homeowner's insurance. Professional storage involves fees but provides insurance coverage and security.
Counterparty Risk
When using custodians and depositories, you rely on those institutions to hold and account for your metals properly. We work only with established, regulated institutions, but you should understand that any third-party relationship involves some risk.
