You deserve to see the math.
The primary risk in the precious metals market isn't the price of gold—it's the lack of transparency. Many firms won't show you their final itemized costs until after they have your money. We find this unacceptable. The Written Bond ensures that you have the facts at your kitchen table before you make a decision.
What we disclose in writing.
We believe in absolute clarity. We don't hide our earnings in 'limited edition' premiums. Instead, we itemize every variable so you can see exactly where your capital is going.
- Exact metal cost at the time of execution
- Itemized dealer spread and administrative fees
- Mandatory custodian and reporting costs
- Insured depository storage and audited custody fees
- Guaranteed repurchase (buyback) terms and valuation logic
- Full settlement and clearing instructions
Verify before you commit.
You receive your Bond before you sign any custodial documents or initiate a rollover. This gives you the time to review the numbers, talk to your family, and consult with your fiduciary on your own schedule. No wire is initiated without your signed approval of the Bond.
Institutional Bullion Only
The Written Bond covers strictly IRS-approved, institutional-grade bullion. We do not sell 'collectible' coins with artificial markups. Every product we source is tied directly to global spot prices, ensuring your wealth is protected by the intrinsic value of the metal, not a marketing story.
Our Standard Fee Logic
Schedule of Costs
Every cost listed below appears in writing on the Written Bond before commitment. Rates and amounts are quoted at the Bond's effective date and held for the settlement window.
| Line Item | Cost | Basis | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dealer Charge | Quoted per Bond | Per transaction | Disclosed in writing on the Written Bond before any signature. The charge is a separate line item — not embedded into the metal price. |
| Custodian Charge (IRA only) | Flat annual | Per account | Set by the IRS-approved custodian. Disclosed on the Written Bond at the rate the custodian publishes for the Bond's effective date. |
| Depository Storage | Flat annual | Per account | Segregated or commingled per the Bond. Rate disclosed on the Bond at the rate the depository publishes for the Bond's effective date. |
| Insured Shipping (Direct Ownership only) | At cost | Per shipment | Pass-through carrier and insurance cost; itemized on the Bond. |

Markup Percentage
