We only buy and store fully physically allocated precious metals in the specific format our clients have requested. Physical allocation ensures investors own specific, identifiable metals rather than paper claims. This eliminates counterparty risk and protects holdings from insolvency or systemic failures in financial intermediaries.

Segregation prevents co-mingling of assets with other clients’ holdings, ensuring each investor’s precious metals remain distinctly owned and easily verifiable. This reduces legal and operational risk during audits, while it also provides maximum transparency and flexibility, allowing you to sell, transfer, or take delivery of your metals at any time based on your instructions, without requiring your physical presence.

We offer direct, unencumbered ownership of your precious metals – no compromises, no bank-style small print or contractual complexities that obscure ownership details. BFI Bullion is contractually prohibited from loaning, hedging, pledging, or otherwise using your precious metals.

Investors can place buy and sell orders, access their transaction history as well as their current and historical holdings and values, ensuring transparency and convenience. They can also “email”us directly and securely over their personal Client Portal Messaging system.

Since the metals investors store with us are100% their direct property, physical delivery is completed promptly and at no added production cost, as is the case with many other solutions in the market. This is especially important during times of crisis, when delays, shortages and high additional costs can create a significant burden.

Our vaults, operated by the global logistics leader Loomis International, meet the highest security standards and procedures. Based on our particular agreement with Loomis, under the Swiss jurisdiction, we are able to store and ship fluidly between Switzerland and selected international vault locations.

All precious metals held in safekeeping are fully insured against fire, water, fraud, theft and burglary. The annual storage fees cover the insurance costs. Our finances and vaults are regularly audited by Ernst & Young according to  international standards, ensuring the stored metals are secure and accessible.

Operating outside the banking system reduces exposure to bank failures, bail-ins, and financial contagion. It preserves the investors’ sovereignty and control over their own assets regardless of banking regulations or freezes.

The ability to manage or access your precious metals independent of digital systems ensures resilience during cyber attacks, infrastructure failures or other serious disruptions. It supports secure continuity of ownership.

BFI Bullion investors have the option of in-person physical inspection and collection. We generally only need 48 hours to arrange the pick-up with our storage providers.

Switzerland’s legal protections, political stability, and strong private property laws provide a secure jurisdiction for precious metal storage. Regulatory consistency reinforces asset protection.

Every transaction (and all associated pricing and fee information) is clearly documented and accessible at any time by investors.

Regular, detailed reports of exact holdings and storage status are instantly accessible through the Client portal, while investors can also request reports via email.
