COMPLETELY PRIVATE STORAGE
The physical bullion products you buy and deliver to your bullion storage account are always allocated in your name or title and segregated from all other bullion account holder holdings. What you ship in is exactly what you can get delivered or shipped out only upon your explicit request.
Unlike artificial derivative spot price proxies (futures contracts, ETFs, options, PM cryptos, etc), the physical bullion the customer purchases and elects to store through SD Depository services remain in the customer’s title and ownership.
SD Depository is happy to provide safe and secure protection for your own metals. Your metals will be safeguarded in the defended vaults at our facility. Many depositories only guarantee that the customer has the metals in their account, not that the customer’s metals will be segregated from other customers’ items. However, SD Depository guarantees the customer’s metals will be fully segregated and they will have their items specifically assigned to them in our silver and gold depository.
The products are fully insured by our Lloyds of London insurance policy up to the market value of the products stored in the gold and silver bullion vault. If you take physical delivery at your home, you run the risk of losing your metals due to theft or fire. And unfortunately, most homeowners' insurance policies do not cover bullion. Therefore, if you do not have “Bullion Home Insurance,” you would be out of luck with no way to recover the value of the metals. This risk is why we recommend that any of our customers concerned about potential theft, fire, or loss should consider SD Depository.
