Gold & Bullion Storage
Allocated, segregated bullion storage in non-bank vaults across four continents.
Allocated bullion held outside the banking system is one of the oldest forms of private wealth insurance — and one of the most poorly implemented. ASJ Group arranges allocated, segregated gold, silver, platinum and palladium storage in non-bank vaults across Zurich, Singapore, Dubai, Toronto and Auckland.
Allocated means specific bars are recorded in the client's name, with serial numbers and refinery assays on file. Segregated means those bars sit on a shelf marked with the client's identifier — not commingled with any other holder's metal. Neither is standard in most bank-vault programmes; both are standard in ours.
Storage sits inside the client's chosen legal wrapper — personally, through a trust, foundation or SPV — with a liquidation desk on call for both partial and complete drawdowns at LBMA-good-delivery pricing.

Questions we hear on every intake call.
- What is the difference between allocated and unallocated?
- Allocated bullion is specifically identified bars owned outright by the client and outside the vault operator's balance sheet. Unallocated is a claim against the operator — it becomes a general unsecured creditor position if the operator fails.
- How is it insured?
- All ASJ Group-introduced storage carries Lloyd's-syndicate all-risk coverage at full replacement value, including in-transit cover to and from the vault.
- Can bullion be held inside a trust?
- Yes. The trust or foundation is the legal owner of record; the vault holds the metal on the trustee's account with the same allocated and segregated standards.
