All of your stored precious metals are insured against theft and damage, regardless of the location where you store your metals. At the same time, the precious metals remain fully your property.
From the refinery, the precious metals are transported directly to the location(s) of your choice. This is done under the supervision of professional secure transport companies such as Brink's, Loomis or Helveticor, depending on the location.
The custodians, Brink’s and Loomis, keep daily inventory lists and publish them, so you can verify that your precious metals are actually present. In addition, the physical inventory is periodically audited by the independent party Alex Stewart International (ASI).

The main difference lies in the tax treatment. In certain international vault locations silver and platinum may be stored in bonded facilities where sales tax is not applied at the time of purchase. For US investors tax treatment depends on state and local regulations and may apply when metals are delivered or sold. Gold is often treated more favorably for tax purposes but rules vary by jurisdiction.
Yes the physical presence of all stored precious metals is regularly verified by independent auditors. These audits ensure that every gram of metal is physically present in the vault. In addition you can view your holdings at any time through your online account.
Whether you pay sales tax on silver and platinum depends on your state and how the metals are stored or delivered. In some cases storage in international vaults may defer or avoid sales tax until delivery. Gold is often exempt in many US states but regulations vary so it is important to check your local tax rules.
Changing your storage location is generally not possible after you have purchased precious metals. In certain cases this may be arranged via customer support but additional costs will apply. Please contact customer service to discuss the available options.
