Bullion & Investment Gold
Gold Storage
Allocated, segregated gold storage backed by independent assay, real-time reporting, and full-value insurance — built for investors and institutions who require verifiable custody.
Overview
Allocated, Bar-by-Bar Custody — Never Pooled
KaratShield offers allocated, segregated gold storage exclusively — we do not commingle client holdings into a pooled claim. Every bar placed in our vault is individually identified, logged by serial number and refiner stamp, and remains legally and physically yours at all times.
What sets our gold storage apart is the verification layer around every bar: each item is independently assayed and weighed on intake against LBMA-approved vaulting standards before it is ever placed on a shelf, and that record becomes the baseline for every future audit or withdrawal.
Clients track their holdings through a private reporting portal that shows real-time balances, chain-of-custody history, and audit documentation, and can arrange insured redelivery of physical bars whenever required.
