PROFESIONALLY MANAGED physical BULLION
International Metals Trading & Investments, Ltd., offers investors worldwide the unique opportunity to participate in one of the absolute safest and purest form of physical bullion investing in the world today with no counterparty risk. Investor's may take delivery or, at the investor’s option, store the bars on an allocated and fully insured basis at a world class regulated bank or independent bullion depository.
confidentiality & clear title
To ensure confidentiality, all bullion order details, statements, and account transaction information are processed by account number only. The system is encrypted and all data is stored offline. Multiple remote backup files are maintained for even greater security.
When bullion bars are purchased, a registered, serialized security document known as bullion deed is issued ensuring unrestricted liquidity and clean title by specifying the owner’s name, refiner, bar weight, purity and serial number on each bar. All bullion deeds are pre-numbered ensuring that only one bullion deed exists for each number. This process ensures that each bar is allocated to the purchaser. This is important because the majority of the world’s precious metals purchased or traded today is stored in unallocated form. In the unlikely event of a bankruptcy of the custodian (bank or independent depository), the holders of unalloacated bullion would become unsecured creditors. Since segregated (allocated) bars ensure that title to the bullion is assigned to the purchaser, segregated bullion cannot form part of the custodian’s assets, and therefore is not subject to any third-party claims or counter-party risks.
