Comprehensive Precious Metals Custody Solutions
Six core custody disciplines — each engineered to the highest institutional standards, operated from the heart of Northern Europe with global reach.
Our flagship service provides fully allocated and segregated storage for gold, silver, platinum, and palladium bullion. Unlike pooled custody arrangements, every gram of metal is held in your name, physically separated from other clients' holdings in our Grade IX certified vault facility in Helsinki. You receive a dedicated inventory ledger, regular photography records, and direct access for personal inspection by appointment. Each holding is independently audited quarterly by a third-party firm approved by the Finnish Financial Supervisory Authority.
Learn MoreWhether you are consolidating holdings from multiple locations, repatriating metals, or establishing a new storage position, our logistics division coordinates secure door-to-vault movement across domestic and international routes. All shipments travel with armed escort, tamper-evident packaging, and real-time GPS tracking accessible through your client portal. We partner with Europe's leading specialist carriers and underwrite each consignment through Lloyd's of London syndicates with agreed-value coverage. Export and import documentation is handled in-house by our compliance team.
Learn MoreFor clients seeking genuine wealth preservation outside the traditional banking infrastructure, our asset protection structures provide multi-layered security at both the physical and legal level. Holdings are maintained entirely off-balance-sheet and outside any central clearing or custodial network, offering genuine insulation from financial system stress events, bail-in regimes, or geopolitical disruption. We advise on ownership structures, segregated nominee arrangements, and succession planning in collaboration with leading Finnish and international legal counsel.
Learn MoreEvery deposit entering our facility is subjected to a comprehensive assaying protocol before vault acceptance. Using XRF spectrometry, fire assay analysis, and ultrasonic thickness testing, our certified metallurgists verify weight, fineness, and physical integrity against LBMA Good Delivery specifications or manufacturer certificates as applicable. We detect counterfeits, assess wear on numismatic pieces, and produce certification reports that carry standing with international dealers and exchanges. Assaying services are also available on a standalone basis for metals held at third-party locations.
Learn MoreAll metals stored within our facility are covered under an umbrella all-risks policy arranged through a consortium of A-rated underwriters, providing agreed-value replacement for loss, theft, damage, or destruction. Coverage extends to in-transit movements coordinated through our logistics division. Clients receive individual certificates of insurance detailing their specific holdings. For institutional clients or those with positions exceeding standard policy thresholds, we arrange bespoke layered coverage with named-insured status and direct claims rights, removing any reliance on FAB as an intermediary in the event of a claim.
Learn MoreWe serve clients from over 28 countries, providing a politically neutral European domicile for precious metals that cannot be subject to domestic government intervention or confiscation risk. Finland's status as a full EU member with NATO security guarantees, AAA sovereign credit rating, and a long tradition of financial privacy makes it an optimal choice for geographic diversification. Our team manages cross-border regulatory compliance, currency-neutral reporting, and multi-jurisdiction ownership structuring, so investors worldwide can access the security of Northern European custody without operational complexity.
