Alternatively, the Client or a person authorized by the Client can withdraw his/her geld bars anytime fully or partially from the storage and dispose of them on his/her own.
The value of the asset always corresponds to the gold market value and not the exchange value of the units or shares of the fund.
The Client can get his/her gold bars physically delivered to almost any region of the world using a special global delivery service.

Gold bars are stored in a 10-grade professional storage facility located in the Principality of Liechtenstein that meets the highest industrial standards for custody of precious metals.
