𝗦𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗲. Removed GST on Investment Precious Metals in 2012. Strong rule of law, English documentation, tight AML supervision. Default choice for HNW investors with Asia-Pacific exposure.
𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱. The legacy benchmark. Around 65 to 70 percent of global gold refining capacity. Investment gold has been VAT-free for decades. Seven duty-free warehouses including major facilities at Embrach, Geneva, and Basel.
𝗛𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗞𝗼𝗻𝗴. No VAT, no sales tax, no capital gains tax on physical gold. Duty-free import and export. The November 2025 China VAT reform has lifted interest in Hong Kong as a tax-neutral alternative for cross-border HNW investors.
𝗗𝘂𝗯𝗮𝗶. Zero-rated VAT on investment-grade gold of 99 percent purity or higher. No personal income tax, no capital gains tax. The DMCC free zone hosts more than 1,500 precious-metals companies.

The 2024 to 2026 gold move is not a retail story. Yes, retail investors have bought gold. Yes, ETF flows have been strong.

Poland. Kazakhstan. Brazil. The Czech Republic. India. 22 institutions reported buying a tonne or more in 2025. Many more bought without public reporting; the World Gold Council estimates 57% of central bank buying remains opaque.
The trigger is well documented. In 2022, the freezing of Russia’s foreign reserves established that reserves held in another country’s currency or banks could be inaccessible in a way they had not been thought to be.
Every non-Western central bank has been recalculating since.

For HNWI investors with cross-border assets, multiple residencies, or family exposed to multiple legal systems, the sovereign logic applies in smaller scale.
Gold’s role in your portfolio is not to outperform equities. It is to hold value in the specific circumstances where the rest of your portfolio cannot.

Gold saw a 3.4% decline as conflict flared once again in Hormuz - This week’s NewsPulse looks at how oil, inflation, Fed expectations, and real yields are driving gold — and why long-term allocation discipline still matters.

We also preview APPMC 2026, where our founder, Joshua Rotbart, will attend industry leaders discussing bank gold targets, central-bank demand, and the role of allocated physical metals in private-wealth portfolios.

𝗢𝗻𝗲: is the refiner on the current LBMA Good Delivery list? The list is published, freely consultable, and updated regularly. As of May 2026, 65 names sit on it for gold.
𝗧𝘄𝗼: does the seller provide the assay certificate and serial number at purchase? The bar's identity should be traceable from refinery to vault, ideally with photographic evidence at intake.
𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲: is the bar size an internationally recognised standard, or a bespoke specification that limits resale to a single dealer? One-kilogram bars typically carry the lowest premium per ounce among retail-accessible sizes.
𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸𝘀. They separate investment grade gold from gold-coloured uncertainty in the resale market.

Most retail gold buyers focus on the wrong question.
They ask which coin or which bar. They should ask which dealer. Read more: https://jrotbart.com/how-to-actually-buy-physical-precious-metals/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=socialmedia&utm_content=HowToBuy

The bars themselves are commodities. LBMA Good Delivery gold from one refiner is, by design, fungible with LBMA Good Delivery gold from another. The premium variance there is small.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀. 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸.
𝗢𝗻𝗲: direct LBMA-accredited refiner relationships, with documented provenance from refiner to bar.
𝗧𝘄𝗼: tight buy-sell spreads. Spreads above 5% on common products usually mean you are paying for marketing, not service.
𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲: integrated storage. A dealer who can transfer your bullion directly into allocated, segregated, insured storage in a tax-friendly jurisdiction is offering a fundamentally different service from one who hands you the bars at the door.

Get the dealer right and the rest is mechanical. Get it wrong and every subsequent decision is constrained by the first one.

This week's big news from the European Central Bank is that for the first time in 30 years Gold has overtaken U.S. Treasuries as the largest single asset class in global official reserves - Gold accounted for 27% of total official reserves at the end of 2025, ahead of U.S. Treasuries at 22%.

For private investors, the question is no longer only if to hold gold. It is how that gold is owned. At J. Rotbart & Co., we help clients buy, store, ship, sell, and finance allocated physical precious metals across secure global jurisdictions.

Trusts are oversold to people who do not need them. If your bullion holding is modest, your domicile is single and straightforward, your heirs are clear, and your home jurisdiction has a workable probate system, you probably do not need a trust. Read more: https://jrotbart.com/why-hnwi-families-hold-gold-in-trust/?utm_source=FB&utm_medium=socialmedia&utm_content=1June26

Setup costs run into the low five figures. Annual trustee fees range from a fixed fee in the low thousands to a percentage of trust assets. Bullion custody, audit, and insurance continue alongside.

Below a few hundred thousand dollars in bullion, the administrative drag often outweighs the benefit.
Above several million, with cross-border family or meaningful estate complexity, the structure is almost standard for serious wealth.

The interesting decisions sit in the middle. They depend on residency, family structure, the existence of a plausible asset protection concern, and how complicated probate would be in your home jurisdiction.
Worth having the conversation. Not worth assuming the answer.
