Storing precious metals in Singapore

Do you invest in physical bullion through GoldRepublic and would you like to store your gold or silver in another part of the world? Then Singapore could be an interesting choice, thanks to a different time zone and its own jurisdiction outside the EU. Soon you will be able to choose this storage location in Asia through GoldRepublic. Diversify your investments by storing them in a city state that is internationally renowned as a precious metals hub with a reputation for stability and legal certainty.

Singapore vault audit

Once in the vault, your holdings remain under independent supervision. The periodic physical inspection is carried out by Alex Stewart International (ASI), a globally recognised authority in the field of precious metals audits. ASI verifies and certifies that every bar exactly matches the stated specifications and weights. The audit is separate from both GoldRepublic and vault custodian Loomis, and is therefore carried out entirely independently.

Current vault status for Singapore

As soon as Singapore opens as a vault location, you will find here the bar allocations of all GoldRepublic customers, listed under their anonymous nicknames. In that overview, you will be able to check that all the precious metal is present in the vaults and that no more grams have been allocated to a bar than the bar's total weight.

Curious what that looks like in practice? Take a look at the Zurich vault audit as an example. Singapore's own vault audit page will become available as soon as the location opens.

Fees

The cost of gold storage in Singapore

The costs for precious metals storage in Singapore are calculated as a fixed annual percentage, based on the current value of your precious metal. This calculation is pro rata and the costs are settled monthly in arrears. You will find the current rates per metal and per location on the pricing page.

The costs of external, independent custody are generally somewhat higher than storage with parties that operate their own vaults. This is the price of demonstrable independence and the integrity of your assets.

0.5%

per year for gold

1%

per year for silver & platinum

Insurance against theft and damage is included in the storage costs.
