FAQs: Getting Started with Precious Metals
Where can I buy gold in the UK?
You can buy physical gold securely online with Goldwise, a UK-based platform founded by former Royal Mint executives. Goldwise enables direct ownership of allocated gold, silver, platinum and palladium — fully insured and stored in independent global vaults.
Is buying gold online safe?
Buying gold online is safe when using a trusted, regulated platform. Goldwise safeguards customer funds under UK Electronic Money Regulations and stores all metals in insured, independently audited vaults operated by Brink’s.
What is the best way to invest in gold?
The best way depends on your goals. Physical precious metals offer stability and direct ownership, while ETFs and funds give market exposure without holding real metal. Goldwise combines the benefits of both — real, allocated metal with modern trading access.
Do I pay VAT or capital gains tax (CGT)?
Investment-grade gold is VAT-exempt in the UK. Silver, platinum and palladium may incur VAT, while certain UK legal tender gold coins are CGT-exempt.
What affects the price of gold and other precious metals?
Precious-metal prices are driven by global supply and demand, interest rates, inflation, currency movements and investor sentiment. Gold, silver, platinum and palladium often rise during economic uncertainty and inflationary periods.
What are the main benefits of investing in precious metals?
Precious metals help diversify portfolios, hedge against inflation, and preserve long-term value. Gold, silver, platinum and palladium have limited supply and strong demand in technology and industry.
What is fractional gold ownership?
Fractional ownership allows you to buy or sell precise amounts of physical metal — for example, 0.001 troy ounces — without needing to purchase a full coin or bar. Each fraction represents direct ownership of real metal held in a vault in your name.
What is the difference between allocated and unallocated gold?
Allocated gold means specific bars are held in your name and cannot be lent or used by others. Unallocated gold represents a claim on a pool of metal owned by a provider. Goldwise only offers fully allocated metal.
Why choose physical gold over ETFs, funds or digital tokens?
Physical gold gives you direct, tangible ownership that isn’t exposed to counterparty risk. ETFs and tokens track prices but do not provide legal title to metal. With Goldwise, you own real, allocated metal stored in insured vaults.
How much gold or silver should I buy?
It depends on your personal financial goals and diversification needs. Many investors allocate 5–10% of their portfolio to physical precious metals as a long-term hedge against inflation and market volatility.
Can I take delivery of my gold or silver?
Delivery options for selected coins and bars are being introduced soon. For most investors, insured vault storage remains the safest and most efficient option.

What are the fees for buying, selling and storage?
Trading fees start from 0.50% per transaction and storage from 0.15% per year, with transparent rates by metal and vault. View details on our Fees page.
How are my funds safeguarded?
