PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
What are Fractional Bars?
Fractional Bars are a simple and cost effective way to buy, manage and sell investment grade physical bullion in fractional and affordable quantities as small as 1 gram. Benefit from economies of scale inherent in partial ownership of institutional investment grade LBMA approved bars.
Buying gold coins and small bars offers a popular but costly way of doing so, however the price to buy or sell is typically 5 – 8% higher or lower respectively than the spot price of gold. Additionally, you also need to consider the cost of delivery and home insurance.
Buying Fractional Bars, securely stored and insured in an institutional grade vault(s) with title ownership, avoids nearly all these costs.
