Our Top Recommendation for Buying Gold is...
Bullion Vault
Perhaps the simplest, safest and most cost-effective way of buying, storing, and selling gold. Not to be confused with unallocated gold accounts (See Pool Accounts below) Bullion Vaults offers storage in London (UK), New York (USA), and Zurich (Switzerland).
The dealing spread is typically 0.4%, about one-tenth of the cost charged to private investors for gold coins and small bars, when buying gold you pay a maximum commission of 0.8% down to a low rate of 0.02% depending on the size of your purchase.
Storage charges with insurance included are at the wholesale rate of 0.12% pa which translates to a saving of 90% against storage fees charged by retail banks and 60% saving against annual fees charged by typical exchange-traded gold funds (See ETFs below)
All in all, Bullion Vault offers you significant savings on the procurement of gold, allows you to buy and sell your gold at anytime, and is unmatched for convenience, price and safety.
Best of all you will immediately be given a free gram of gold upfront (no payment required) when you register.
