    The Best Ways to Buy, Store, and Sell PreciousMetals: A Comparative Analysis

    As an astute investor, you already understand that the need to own gold and silver becomes more pressing witheach passing day.

    At rst, a small stash of gold is held as a value-dense, portable, and easy to conceal hedge against any number

    of crisis scenarios: currency controls, bank holidays, civil uprisings, or a rapid spike in consumer prices. But

    as condence in central banks, paper currencies, and government debt continues to erode, upping ones gold

    holding seems wise.

    Easy enough decision, yet questions about what to buy, and where and how to store it, soon become pressing as

    your hoard expands. The number of options is daunting and growing, so how does the precious metals investor

    know which are best?

    Thats an important question. Lacking skillful planning, you could nd yourself with a coin menagerie that

    doesnt meet your particular needs... or selecting a storage facility with questionable integrity or poor oversight.

    You might overpay... or be stuck without an easy or cost-effective exit strategy.

    This special report is devoted to answering these questions. By the time youve nished reading it, youll be famil-

    iar with the options best suited to your circumstances, and know the steps you can and should take right away.

    Owning Gold When You Want To Not Have To

    Gold preserves wealth.

    It has served as money for thousands of years. It has been historys premier life raft. If you can carry your

    wealth with you when you must, you may survive where others perish.

    Moreover, gold is the ultimate insurance policy against the ravages of ination. As more and more citizens wise

    up to the irresponsible and reckless US (and worldwide) monetary and scal policies, they will increasingly turn

    to gold, which will make it much harder to acquire. Thats what happens during periods of strain, such as the -

    nancial sector meltdown in 2007-08. At that time, gold buyers were forced to pay between a 9%-15% premium

    over the spot price to buy coins when they could nd them.

    Shipping delays of 30-60 days were the norm and lags up to four months were not uncommon. There were days

    when suppliers simply advised dealers not to sell, because no one could promise when, or even if, orders would

    be lled.

    When the next crisis hits and globally, national governments actions virtually guarantee one its possible

    that gold will be unavailable at any price.

    At that point, it will be too late to add sufcient precious metals to your portfolio to protect your wealth and

    your standard of living. You cant buy ood insurance to recover after the deluge has hit.

    Hold at least 10% of investable assets in physical gold and silver.

    A Crash Course in Gold Ownership

    Gold is not spandex. One size of ownership will not t all buyers. There are various options to holding the

    metal, and each will meet differing objectives and personal circumstances, including:

    How much to own, and where and how to store it

    Use as a speculation and hedge against currency devaluation

    As a way to hold wealth in tangible assets

    As a means of wealth preservation

    To achieve international asset diversication

    As money for family emergencies or in times of crisis

    Or all of the above.

    Each goal will be met by selecting the appropriately structured gold-ownership vehicle. Lets take a look at

    the options.

    Paper vs. Physical Metal

    The rst decision is whether to own physical gold or paper gold.

    PHYSICAL

    Physical gold is where everyone should start. After all, coins and bars have been the store of wealth for millen-

    nia not paper receipts fraught with counterparty risk.

    Bullion is real money, and every investor should own a meaningful amount of gold and silver bullion regard-

    less of portfolio size.

    Coin selection is largely a matter of personal appeal, though we recommend each investor start with the most

    popular bullion coins: the Australian Nugget (Kangaroo), Austrian Philharmonic, Canadian Maple Leaf, South

    African Krugerrand, and the US Gold Eagle. The Canadian, Austrian, and Australian coins are all pure gold

    (.9999 ne); the Krugerrand and Eagle (both .9166 ne) are alloyed with copper and silver/copper respectively.

    The Krugerrand tends to sell at a lower premium than the others and the Eagle higher, but all ve contain thesame full ounce of gold.

    One-ounce bars are another option and typically have lower premiums than coins. However, only buy bars that

    bear a universally recognized hallmark. Bars fabricated by little-known reneries might be hard to resell, and the

    buyer must also contend with counterfeit risk. A future buyer will want to see the stamp of a reputable rener, such

    as AGR Matthey, Argor-Heraeus, Credit Suisse, Emirates Gold, Heraeus, PAMP, UBS, Umicore, or Valcambi.

    Several of the above coins are minted in half-, quarter-, and tenth-ounce versions. Fractional-ounce coins gen-

    erally sell for higher premiums than their one-ounce siblings, and some buyers avoid them for that reason. Butsmaller weight coins could be very handy for transactions that dont require a full ounce of gold. In a strong bull

    market and with a reputable dealer, youll likely get a good chunk of that premium back when you sell.

    We would avoid commemorative, rare, collectible, and numismatic coins, as dealers can ask indefensible premi-

    ums. Unless you are willing to learn about coin collecting, buyer beware.

    Large bullion bars are the choice for those with deep pockets; they also sell for the lowest premium per ounce.

    Due to their high value, they are almost always stored in a secure vault. The top three weights are 1 kilogram

    (32.15 troy ounces), 100 ounces, and 400 ounces. (Precious metal is measured in troy ounces that are different

    than the avoirdupois ounces used to measure things like food; 16 ounces of butter equal 14.58 troy ounces.)

    PAPER, NON-REDEEMABLE

    Paper forms of gold are abundant these days, broadly divided into those that are redeemable for physical metal and

    those that arent. Among the latter are exchange-traded funds, or ETFs. By far the largest and best known of these

    is the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE.GLD). Each GLD share represents approximately one-tenth of an ounce of gold

    held in the companys London vault and is priced accordingly. GLD offers easy exposure to the gold price through

    your equities broker, and the commissions will likely be lower than the purchase premiums for physical metal. Ifyou simply want to play the trend and book some paper prots, this is a convenient way to do it.

    However, there are caveats. Theoretically, shares can be converted into physical metal, but the conditions at-

    tached make that all but impossible for the individual investor, and the company reserves the right to settle

    requests for physical delivery in cash. In addition, the rather opaque wording in the companys prospectus has

    critics questioning whether some of the trusts underlying assets might be paper gold instead of bullion (the

    company denies this). And nally, the companys operating expenses are paid by selling bullion, so the gold

  • 7/29/2019 SmartMetalsInvestorKit.pdf

    7/32

    7 http://www.hardassetsalliance.com

    value of a share is declining slightly every day.

    A popular second option is closed-end funds (CEFs), the best known being the Central Fund of Canada (NYSE.

    CEF). Like ETFs, these are traded on major exchanges, are backed by vaulted bullion, and should not be con-

    sidered a substitute for physical ownership. CEFs are another paper way to ride the precious metal trend.

    The main difference between closed-end and exchanged traded funds is that ETFs move gold into and out of its

    vaults as shares are created and redeemed in tandem with rising or falling demand. CEFs buy physical metal and

    keep it; hence the number of shares outstanding remains constant. Accordingly, shares dont necessarily mimic

    the price of gold. Instead, the share price responds to demand and thus can trade at a premium or discount to the

    net asset value (NAV) of the underlying precious metal holdings.

    A gold CEF will outperform physical gold in a strong bull market, as mounting investor demand collides with

    a static number of available shares and causes a premium to emerge, but it can fare poorly in a bear market, as

    demand falls away.

    Gold funds can be part of a precious metal investment strategy.

    However, they are not substitutes for physical ownership.

    PAPER, REDEEMABLE

    Many gold dealers offer gold held in a pooled account, and two ownership structures are available: allocated and

    unallocated. Both offer delivery of the physical metal. An unallocated account means you dont have title to any

    specic coins or bars, but instead have fractional ownership of the total pool of metal together with other investors.

    Allocated accounts mean you own specic coins and bars within the total pool of metal.

    If you intend to regularly trade in and out of gold and never plan to take delivery, pooled accounts might make

    sense for part of your portfolio. The metal is purchased for a smaller premium than for physical, and most vendors

    offer guaranteed buyback that makes selling your metal quick and easy.

    Unallocated accounts tend to be the cheapest purchase option and often come with low or zero storage fees. Ven-dor reputation is critical, as the relationship is based on trust that the metal will be there should you opt for deliv-

    ery, and thats not a certainty since you have no clear title to specic property (here, too, contract terms may permit

    the dealer to elect a cash payout in certain circumstances). Also, opting for delivery from a pooled account requires

    a fabrication fee. The fee and fabrication delays can be substantial depending on market conditions.

    A third option is a fully segregated account where specic lots of coins and/or bars are held in your name. No frac-

    tional ownership. No pooling. A segregated account does not incur delivery fabrication fees, but storage charges

    are typically very high.

    How to Buy Physical Gold

    Your local coin shop is a convenient place to buy physical gold anonymously, but thats also where you will pay

    the highest premiums.

    The US Mint makes a few coins (mainly Buffaloes) available for direct purchase, though theyre usually

    proof sets that carry a much higher premium. You could buy on eBay, where youll save some premium cost

    and tax, but it comes with all the usual eBay caveats of seller integrity and product authenticity.

    For large coin purchases, you will want someone who specializes in precious metals and who has built a strong

    track record of honesty and reliability.

    You can conduct your own due diligence on dealer selection, or you can consider this list of dealers that we

    have found to be trustworthy. Although price should not be your only consideration, you can certainly shop

    around for the lowest commissions or special offers. For multiple purchases over time, it pays to establish a

    personal relationship with someone at the rm who will call you if an especially good buy crops up:

    Miles Franklin

    The Coin Agent

    Border Gold

    GoldSilver.com

    Asset Strategies International

    These dealers can also arrange the purchase of large bullion bars. If the purchase is made with the intent to store

    the bar, its advisable not to take physical delivery yourself (for safetys sake if nothing else). Instead, choose

    one of our bullion storage options to maintain an unbroken chain of custody and avoid the cost of an assay

    down the road.

    Storage Options

    IN HOME

    One option is back yard burial (properly sealed PVC pipe is a popular choice). Subterranean gold is fairly

    secure, and it keeps your metal close at hand for fast access. Drawbacks include amnesia dont forget where

    X marks the spot and nosy neighbors. Best that you do some regular digging in the yard so the neighbors

    dont think twice about your new gardening hobby. And dont forget to tell one trusted person the location of

    your cache.

    A home safe is another option. One thats built into your house and concealed is best. Otherwise, get something

    too heavy for a burglar to carry off. You can also create hidey holes out of ordinary household objects and hope

    that your burglar hasnt been watching a lot of YouTube videos that would blow your cover.

    Keep in mind that all in-home options are vulnerable to a determined intruder. We recommend you keep a few

    coins at home for an emergency, but more than that and your next step is going offsite for storage.

    OFFSITE

    A bank safe deposit box is the traditional storage solution for people whose holdings stop short of 400-ounce

    bars. Theyre usually close, relatively convenient, and generally safe from thieves. But as with every option,

    theyre not risk-free. Safe deposit box contents are not insured against re, theft, or natural disasters like torna-

    does and oods; if your gold is stolen or borne aloft on a high wind, youre out of luck. If the bank goes belly

    up, or a bank holiday is declared, it may be difcult or entail long delays to regain access to your box. In the

    event of a new government conscation (such as happened in 1933), safe deposit boxes could be frozen.

    Once your gold holding outgrows your safe deposit box or the amount you hold signals its time to diversify, the

    next step is to consider the most secure storage of all: a private, precious-metals vaulting facility.

    There are a number of private vaults in the US. Occasionally, bullion dealers will offer storage for metal pur-

    chased through them at one of the vaults, relieving you of the necessity of physically handling the goods.

    These are all viable options, and you can research them to determine if theyre a good t for you. But eventually,anyone with a signicant amount of gold will come to realize that keeping it all in one place means assuming seri -

    ous risks. When that day comes for you, we recommend diversifying your holdings by moving a portion of them

    outside your political jurisdiction.

    Internationalization

    First off, under no circumstance do we advise that you attempt to carry gold coins or bullion across a border.

    While it could go smoothly and it is legal the risks are too high. We know of numerous stories of travelers

    whose gold or silver was conscated by an aggressive or ignorant customs agent. US federal government rules

    and regulations are murky, to say the least and far too complicated to go into here. Dont forget that the des-

    tination country will have its own set of regulations that control the importation of gold, too. And, of course, if

    anyone sees your metal, you become a prime theft target. No personal physical transport is your best bet.

    There are a host of reasons to consider holding precious metal in a foreign location. First among them is to

    achieve jurisdictional diversication. Keeping your assets in one country, subject to the whims of a single gov-

    ernment, poses the greatest threat to your wealth today. Going global now with your assets helps mitigate four

    serious risks to your nancial health:

    ConfscationorOutlawing of personal gold ownership.

    Capital Controls the government limits or denies a citizens right to carry or send any form of

    money abroad.

    Administrative Actions seizure of property by a government agency without notice or due process.

    Becoming enmeshed in a frivolous civil lawsuit.

    Currencydebasement/ination that will lower ones standard of living and destroy wealth not ad-

    equately protected.

    Understand, however, that these risks can be reduced, not eliminated. There is no perfect solution. Nonetheless,

    political diversity is an essential element of an overall protection strategy against an uncertain future.

    Be aware, though, that foreign-held assets require greater awareness and planning: Access to your metal may not be quick and easy. Foreign-held bullion is for those with sufcient gold

    and silver already stored at or near home. Storing all your precious metals overseas defeats one of its

    purposes to have it handy for an emergency.

    The receipt of proceeds after a sale will take time. The delay between selling your foreign-held gold and

    receiving the funds can be days. Offshore gold should not be considered as ready cash.

    While the US may pose the greatest threat, a foreign government could move to control certain assets as

    well. The risk varies by country and is generally greater within the banking system than with a private

    vaulting facility. Evaluate a country before making a selection. Choose a location with a history of strong

    depositor protection, governed by the rule of law, and solid property rights and select a vault with the

    highest reputation.

    Understanding and complying with reporting requirements is essential. More below.

    The bottom line: gold stored abroad is all about minimizing risks and maximizing options. As your metal hold-

    ings grow and governments become increasingly desperate, diversication becomes increasingly important.

    Move A Portion of Your Gold Offshore.

    Reporting Regulations and Sales Considerations (US Investors)

    According to the Bank Secrecy Act of 1970 and modications imposed by the PATRIOT Act, all cash (or

    other monetary instrument) transactions in excess of $10,000 must be reported to the government. This

    applies to transactions involving banks, securities brokers, car dealers, airline ticket agents, and a long list of

    others including precious metals dealers.

  • 7/29/2019 SmartMetalsInvestorKit.pdf

    11/32

    SmartMetals INVESTOR KIT

    11 http://www.hardassetsalliance.com

    If you want to keep your gold purchases private, youll have to limit your buys to less than $10,000 per year.

    (The seller must keep track of all annual business he does with you.) And dont even think of trying to evade

    the law by picking up $9,000 worth from one dealer and a like amount from another. Thats also a crime, called

    structuring, and people have been prosecuted for it.

    So you have to buy in small lots, spread out over time. Or

    An interesting exception involves personal checks, which are not considered the same as cash at least not at

    the moment. Thus, if you want to buy more than $10,000 worth of gold at a pop, do so with a personal check

    and your bullion dealer is not required to report it. (That doesnt mean he wont; it pays to know the people you

    do business with.) If you pay by cash, travelers check, bank check, wire, or money order, he is. However, regu-

    lations are constantly changing, so consult your dealer for the latest information.

    Reporting when you buy or sell is the domestic situation. But what about foreign-held metal? Thats a bit

    more complicated.

    THE FBAR AND FORM 8938

    Until fairly recently, gold stored abroad by US citizens was nobodys business but the owners. That changed in

    March of 2011, when amendments to FBAR (Treasury Department Form TD F 90-22.1, Report of Foreign Bank

    and Financial Accounts) reporting took effect. Under most circumstances, American holders of offshore bullion

    must report it on this form and le it annually with the Treasury Dept.

    Further, in 2011 a new reporting regime was introduced: IRS Form 8938, Statement of Specied Foreign Finan-

    cial Assets. Like the FBAR, under most circumstances Americans with foreign-held bullion must report it on

    Form 8938 and le it along with their annual tax reporting to the IRS. The FBAR covers foreign nancial ac-

    counts; Form 8938 covers foreign nancial assets. The combination of these two forms leaves very little wiggle

    room to escape the reporting of foreign-held bullion.

    You are required to submit an 8938 if you have assets in a foreign nancial institution. However, you do not

    have to report nancial accounts maintained by a US payer (such as a US domestic nancial institution), the

    foreign branch of a US nancial institution, or the US branch of a foreign nancial institution. This is an im-portant distinction.

    One option for holding bullion is the use of a foreign bank safe deposit box or a private vault. Are these meth-

    ods of storage reportable?

    It appears that storing bullion in a private foreign vault is not subject to the reporting requirement. However, it

    is not 100% clear if bullion stored in a foreign bank safe deposit box is reportable. Clarication from the IRS

    regarding reporting is ongoing, and denitive answers are hopefully forthcoming.

    Caution: never take any course of action that is designed simply to evade government regulations. This report

    is not intended, nor should it be considered, as a legal interpretation of any reporting requirements. Consult a

    qualied tax accountant or attorney for guidance. When in doubt, its always safer to report than not.

    A word about sales

    While it would be nice if the sale of gold were subject to taxation at the ordinary capital gains rate, like stocks,

    that is not the case. Gold despite its fundamental differences from a Van Gogh, Ming vase, or baseball cards

    is considered a collectible. And that applies to bullion as well as numismatic coins. When you sell, your prot

    will be taxed at the collectibles rate, currently 28%, rather than the 15% assessed on capital gains (though the

    rate may be headed up in 2013).

    Furthermore, the collectibles rate falls on paper forms of gold as well, including pooled accounts, ETFs, and

    shares of gold-backed securities like the Central Fund of Canada.

    In sum, the relationship between gold ownership and government reporting and taxation is a tangled web. For that

    reason alone, it makes sense to seek out ways to hold at least a portion of your metal in its most hassle-free form.

    Diversify internationally, but seek ways to maintain condentiality

    and minimize complexity.

    Offshore Storage Facilities

    There are an increasing number of international storage programs from which to choose, but some are better

    than others. Here are the important criteria to consider:

    Safety. A highly secure, fully insured and audited vault is paramount.

    Non-bank, vaulted storage. Private vaulting facilities are not subject to bankers hours, the sudden dec-

    laration of a bank holiday, or systemic risks within the nancial sector.

    Segregated/allocated storage. No commingled holdings with other customers.

    Competitive fees. The lowest-cost program is not always the best solution. You shouldnt make tradeoffs

    between cost and safety. However, do look for comparable solutions and try not to overpay.

    Convenience. A straightforward, unencumbered program that offers the ability to liquidate and/or take

    delivery of your holdings at any time.

    Among offshore vaulting options, Switzerland is home to several and is arguably the worlds best storage

    jurisdiction, owing to its long, unbroken history of respect for private property. But locations like Hong Kong,

    Singapore, and Australia are also attracting growing numbers of depositors.

    Finding the alternative thats best for you requires that you do substantial due diligence. It may mean consider-

    able work to arrange for the transport of the metal to your chosen storage facility. Taking delivery can be costly

    and involve your presence at certain stages. And you could be responsible for ling the requisite paperwork

    with the government or face serious penalties.

    But is there one storage option that stands above the crowd, combining the benets of foreign storage without

    the drawbacks?

    Yes.

    Top Recommendation: The Hard Assets Alliance

    Historically, there have been difculties in owning and storing bullion, and not just outside the country. A lot of

    people want to own gold without having to handle it. Thus, many investors have opted out of physical metal and

    embraced ETFs like GLD as bullion proxies, due to the sheer ease of trading. But there, you dont own the real

    thing, and you gain none of the international diversication that is becoming critical.

    Others would like to escape paper holdings, but nd their choices to be daunting, complex, expensive, or opaque.

    The optimal solution is one that:

    lets you buy and sell as easily as with paper gold

    gives ownership in real bullion in an allocated account

    comes with full transparency and safety

    stores gold internationally but offers domestic delivery

    has access to competitive prices

    exempts the owner from US government reporting requirements

    The Hard Assets Alliance (HAA) lls the bill on all counts. Heres how

    The Alliance employs Gold Bullion International (GBI). GBI is an institutional precious metals dealer

    that enables its clients to conveniently and directly buy, store, and sell gold, silver, platinum, and palla-

    dium. The program has already caught the attention of some big names in the nancial industry. A June 25

    Forbes article states: From its Manhattan headquarters, three-year-old GBI aims to bring liquidity and

    transparency to a market where buying and selling, by the small investors, are [sic]dominated by Cash for

    Gold merchants and sketchy coin dealers. GBI is not a broker-dealer, nor is it a bank, but like other start-

    ups it is using technology to disrupt an inefcient niche in nancial services.

    ations reported daily.

    Highly meticulous auditing protocol. Holdings are audited internally on a daily

    basis. An audit report containing bar lists is sent to GBI by each of the vaulting

    partners, conrming precious metal holdings on an aggregate basis. GBI then

    matches the storage facility reports with its own internal reports to verify custom-

    er inventory. Customers individual holdings are posted online and can be viewed

    at any time. In addition, KPMG, an internationally recognized accounting rm,

    reviews precious metal holdings quarterly.

    No risky business. Because GBI is not a broker/dealer, it does not engage in any

    derivative, hedging, nor other paper trading activities. All trades are executed im-

    mediately in cash.

    Take delivery with one phone call. Simply call HAA and arrange delivery almost

    anywhere in the world. Shipping will occur within 24-48 hours of the order. (Note

    that if you take delivery of a bullion bar, once it leaves the depository the LBMA-

    approved chain of custody is broken, and an assay may be necessary when you sell.)

    Exempt from US reporting requirements. As a domestic institution, GBIs US

    customers are exempt from both the FBAR and Form 8938 ling requirements if

    offshore metal storage is elected.

    One caveat: HAA does not hold the advantage that use of a foreign supplier would i.e., your account could be-

    come subject to seizure by a US court or agency, whereas that process is much more difcult if your metal is held

    by a native company in a foreign country. However, if your asset-protection priorities change, you can take deliv-

    ery at a foreign location of your choice.

    A note about storage fees:

    As with many deposito-ries, storage fees are based

    on the value of the stored

    metal. This means that the

    storage bill will rise or fall

    alongside the price of the

    metal. While other vendors

    may calculate charges based

    on the number of ounces

    stored, this is a temporaryadvantage. As bullion prices

    rise, these facilities will be

    forced to increase their insur-

    ance coverage. In turn, the

    higher insurance costs will

    be passed to customers with

    higher storage costs.

    Your Questions AnsweredAbout the Hard Assets Alliance

    What is the Hard Assets Alliance?

    The Hard Assets Alliance is an industry association of well-known and trusted economic and investment re-

    search rms that have as a core mandate to help clients and readers better understand prevailing economic

    trends and how to invest. After doing their own due diligence on SmartMetals and concluding that it truly is

    a breakthrough in how investors should buy, sell, and store precious metals, they agreed to participate in an alli-

    ance that has been formed for the specic purpose of spreading the word about this innovation.

    At this moment, members include Casey Research, Sovereign Society, Agora Financial, Mauldin Economics,

    and International Man and the list is literally growing every day.

    In exchange for specic services rendered as members of the Alliance, these rms receive variable compensa-

    tion from the Hard Assets Alliance, LLC, the company that owns the SmartMetals trading platform, but

    because its low-cost structure is a major feature of the program, such commissions are very modest and do not

    affect the prices paid by clients.

    Okay, lets talk price. How is the pricing of my purchases or sales

    established?

    When you create a new order, we communicate electronically with our supplier network to get real-time pric-

    ing for the metal, quantity, and selection youve chosen. We have no fewer than four suppliers in each region

    in which we offer storage/sales, and their offers are compared against each other to provide you with the best

    price available in that region. Your buy price is presented on the order conrmation screen and is only locked

    in when you subsequently submit your order.

    How competitive are the prices available through the

    SmartMetals account?

    Extremely. When you take into account the exibility the international storage and delivery options that

    your SmartMetals account is allocated and not a pool or paper gold the convenience and competitive

    Q

    bidding on your metals orders (both on the buy and sell side), the value cant be beat.

    Of course, you may see a bullion coin offering advertised by others that is even less expensive but these are

    invariably loss leaders offered by high-pressure, high-priced coin dealers who will subsequently inundate you

    with offers for semi-numismatic coins or other modern rarities, a misnomer if there ever was one.

    With a SmartMetals account, you can count on consistently getting the best possible execution and very

    competitive pricing for your purchases, sales, and storage.

    How often do you update your pricing?

    All prices are updated continuously in real time during market hours. That way you can be assured when youplace an order that you never pay more than the price you are quoted.

    Orders placed outside market hours are automatically converted to an under or limit order, and so when

    trading opens once again, you can be certain youll never pay more than the quoted price.

    What is the cost of storage?

    Storage rates depend on the quantity of metals you wish to store the larger the amount of metals, the lower the

    fees. Regardless, at any level they are very competitive, ranging from 0.5% to 0.7% per year for gold, and 0.6%

    to 0.8% for silver. Storage costs are the same in all of our vaults.

    How does the storage fee work?

    Annual fees are billed quarterly and automatically withdrawn from your cash account. If no cash is present,you will be notied. If you subsequently fail to respond to requests to pay your storage fees in a timely matter

    (and dont worry, theres a 30-day grace period), then, as you would expect, the Hard Assets Alliance retains the

    right to redeem the amount of your holdings required to pay for storage.

    Q

    Q

    Q

    What metals do you offer?

    With your SmartMetals account, you can buy gold, silver, platinum, or palladium in a variety of weights and

    mints, either in the form of good-delivery LBMA bars or sovereign coins.

    Please note, however, that due to local market considerations, certain purchase/storage locations may not offer

    coins. For example, by tradition, in Singapore almost all holdings of precious metals are in the form of good-

    delivery bars ranging in size from one ounce to 400 ounces, and so no coins are available. In the streamlined

    ordering process, you will be shown which metals and purchase options are available to you in each of our

    international locations.

    What types of accounts does the Hard Assets Alliance offer?

    We offer individual, joint, corporate, partnership, sole proprietorship, LLC, and trust accounts.

    Do I need an account to purchase metals through the

    Hard Assets Alliance?

    Yes, to purchase from the Hard Assets Alliance, all customers must rst sign up for and fund a SmartMetals

    account. Like an online brokerage account, your available cash balance, which you can add to or withdraw from

    at any time, allows you to place orders online 24 hours a day, in multiple markets around the world.

    Once you open your account and it is funded, there is no rush to buy metals. You can leave the funds in your

    account as long as you wish, for example, until the opportunity knocks with the next pullback in metals

    prices, then execute your order immediately at that time.

    Is there an initial fee of any kind?

    There is a modest one-time membership fee of $35, which helps keep your costs of buying, selling, and storing

    as low as possible.

    Q

    Q

    Q

    How quickly can I begin trading with the Hard Assets Alliance?

    Opening an account is fast and convenient through the Hard Assets Alliances secure online portal. Once your ap-plication is approved usually within 48 hours, and typically much less you can remit funds and begin trading.

    What forms of payment do you accept to fund my account?

    You can fund your account by check or bank wire; ACH transfers will be available very soon. Funding in-

    formation will be sent to you with the email notifying you that your account is open, or you may access it at

    www.hardassetsalliance.com, our ofcial website. If you fund your account with a check, please be sure towrite your Hard Assets Alliance account number on the check.

    Is there a minimum investment?

    To help keep your costs low by keeping our operating expenses down, each order to buy metals must meet the

    minimum requirement of $5,000 for delivery or $10,000 for storage. You may establish a SmartMetals ac-

    count with any size minimum deposit, and add funds over time if you choose until your cash balance meets the

    minimum purchase requirements.

    What if I want to invest but dont have enough money to buy an

    ounce of gold right now?

    There is no minimum deposit required to establish your account with the Hard Assets Alliance, only for purchases.

    Therefore, you can open your account and fund it over time if youd like, such as with a monthly direct deposit

    from another account. By opening your account now, you ensure it will be ready when you are.

    Do you charge sales tax?

    We do not charge sales tax. However, if you are a United States citizen, it is your obligation to report purchases

    and pay sales tax in at least 21 states. You may also be responsible for taxes on any realized gains made in your

    positions, depending on the type of account youve chosen. You should consult your tax professional to under-

    Do you charge VAT?

    No. VAT is not applicable for metal going into storage or delivered to a US address. However, if you have your

    metals delivered to an overseas address, VAT may apply, depending on local laws and the storage location your

    order was sent from. Be sure to consult local tax laws before taking delivery.

    What is the settlement process for a trade?

    Your transactions will be posted to your account immediately upon placing an order, at the amount that you

    saw when placing the order. In most cases, orders are settled within two business days.

    What if I buy today and the price goes up or down before my metal

    is shipped?

    With a SmartMetalsaccount, your price is locked at the time you buy. Our network of wholesale dealers andreners guarantee the prices they provide, and thus you will not pay any more than what was on your conrma-tion screen when you placed your order.

    If you place your order outside normal trading hours, your order will be entered as a dollar value order (as

    opposed to quantity) and will be lled upon opening of the market. For example, if at 10 p.m. you place an

    order for one-ounce bars worth $50,000, the order will be lled the next morning upon market open with the

    maximum numbers of bars possible, not to exceed $50,000.

    How long from the time I buy until the bar is stored in thevault of my choice?

    Typically, its in the vault one business day after your trade is settled.

    Q

    Q

    Q

    Q

    Where does the Hard Assets Alliance purchase its precious metals?

    When you buy metals for delivery or storage, youll be asked to choose a region in which to purchase them. Be-fore you choose a region for a purchase, you can review current prices for all regions side-by-side to help ensure

    you are getting the best price possible at that time. These prices are sourced from at least four wholesale dealers

    or directly from reners in that local region, and the price shown is the average of current prices. You will be

    given conrmation of the best local prices for your selection before placing your order.

    Can I buy metals in one region and ship them to another?

    Metals purchased in one region can only be stored in that region; however, you can take delivery from any

    region with minimal restrictions. For example, if you buy bars for storage in Zurich, you must store them in Zu-

    rich. Then you can have them shipped to your address of record, or you can pick them up in Zurich. You cannot

    buy bars in Zurich and have them shipped to London for storage.

    How long will an inactive account stay open?

    Funded accounts with the Hard Assets Alliance do not expire. So long as the account is in good standing, with a

    cash balance or metals in storage, your account remains open and ready for your immediate use, whether its been

    two weeks, two months, or two years since your last trade.

    Can I fund my account by sending in metals I already own?

    Good question, but regrettably we cannot accept funding in the form of physical metals. The primary reason

    for this policy is that we deal only in the highest-quality and most liquid precious metals formats sovereign

    coins and good-delivery bars where the chain of custody is unbroken. If we were, as an example, to accept bars

    from outside of the custodial system, then, in addition to the cost of dealing with the inbound metal from private

    sources, we would have to go through a process that could even involve the time and cost of assaying the metals

    before being able to accept them.

    In short, the SmartMetals platform is streamlined to provide a highly efcient solution for anyone looking

    for the ultimate advantages in safety, convenience, and cost. To allow the injection of metals from outside of our

    Q

    Q

    wholesale-dealer network would require a different and far less efcient business model.

    How is the Hard Assets Alliance different from all the other compa-

    nies that deal in precious metals?

    Flexibility, ease of use, and complete storage security are the hallmarks of the Hard Assets Alliance. With just a

    couple of mouse clicks, you can buy gold, silver, platinum, or palladium in bars or coins, and store your pur-

    chase in your choice of locations worldwide. Or you can have your purchase shipped to you anywhere in the

    world within two days.

    Either way, you are the owner of a precise and specic amount of metal. When its stored in our vault partners

    facilities, we are simply the steward of your property.

    And when it comes time to sell, with just a few mouse clicks your metals become cash in your account.

    I am interested in internationalizing my precious metals assets,

    but I see that my Hard Assets Alliance account is technically based

    in the US. Should that concern me?

    The seamless, highly secure platform used by the Hard Assets Alliance currently requires that accounts be techni-

    cally domiciled in the United States, though your precious metals can be stored in insured vaults outside of the US

    including New York, Salt Lake City, Zurich, London, or Melbourne with more to come in the near future.

    While we are currently working through the considerable technical and regulatory challenges of also offering

    non-US accounts, the current US account requirement should be of little or no concern to anyone.

    If you are a US citizen or resident, the fact that it is a US account will save you a huge amount of time and has-

    sle complying with the latest US government regulations that require detailed reporting on foreign-held assets.

    However, if you ever become at all concerned about your US account registration for example, in the unlikely

    event that the US government began signaling it might again want to nationalize gold holdings a quick call or

    a couple of clicks from you will set in motion the transfer of your metals, or the proceeds from the sale of your

    metals, to the destination of your choice, including one outside of the US. All transfers, either in physical metals

    or the proceeds from a sale of those metals, will take place within two business days.

    If you were really concerned that gold was going to be targeted, you could also log on to sell your gold

    holdings and replace them with another metal (platinum or palladium).

    Q

    Q

    Realistically, if you are worried that transferring your funds or metals would ever have to take place more ur-

    gently than two business days, then the Hard Assets Alliance is probably not right for you. But for most people,

    two business days should be more than sufcient for any conceivable scenario.

    Do I have to be a US citizen to open a SmartMetals account?

    If you are not a citizen or resident of the United States, no problem. US regulations require that we establish the

    identity of all account holders, whether or not they are US citizens.

    How easy is it to use the online trading platform?

    Its simple and intuitive. If you can trade using an online broker or place an order on Amazon, youll have abso-

    lutely no problem buying and selling metals with the Hard Assets Alliance.

    Id rather place my orders by telephone. Is that possible?

    Absolutely. We have bonded traders available by telephone from 9:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST weekdays, exclud-

    ing market holidays, and they will gladly take your buy or sell order. Call toll free at (877) 727-7387 (interna-

    tional calls: 1-602-626-3022). There is no fee for this service.

    Selling

    When I sell, how is my money delivered? Check or direct deposit?

    By default, the proceeds of any sale are deposited in your core account. From there, you may use the funds to

    purchase other assets or have them sent to you via check, wire or, in the very near future, ACH electronic trans-

    fer to another bank account of your choosing.

    How long does it take to get my money when I sell?

    Trades can take up to two full business days to settle. Once your trade has settled, you can then wire money out ofyour account or request a check sent to an account at a different institution. ACH transfers will be available soon.

    If I am selling, when is my price locked in?

    Your nal price is conrmed the moment you submit your sell order.

    If I store outside the US and I sell, what currency will I be paid in?

    All trades are settled in US dollars, regardless of the region your gold is stored in. If you prefer to settle in a

    different currency, you have the option to take delivery of your gold and sell it to a local dealer who can provide

    that service.

    I am a US citizen. If I make a purchase and store it outside the US,when I sell, can I have the proceeds deposited into an offshore bank

    and in the currency of my choice?

    Payments are made to customers in US dollars. If you have an existing foreign bank account, we can wire the funds to

    that bank. That account should be set up in advance in the standing wire instructions for your account.

    Is the bullion I buy really mine?

    When you buy from the Hard Assets Alliance, whether its coins or bars, gold, silver, platinum, or palladium, the

    exact amount you ordered is bought on your behalf, attributed to your account, and placed in the vault at the loca-

    tion you chose when you ordered. If you bought serial-numbered bars, youll be given the serial numbers of those

    bars. The metals you buy and store with us are no less yours than if we had shipped them to you.

    Can I store my products now and get delivery later?

    Yes. You can request that any or all of your stored holdings be shipped to you at any time.

    and destination. Quotes for shipping are provided prior to conrming.

    Can I take delivery at an address other than my address of record?

    We deliver only to the address of record on your account, so you would need to change the address of record

    in order to take delivery in another location. You can change this address by logging into your account, after

    they are available.

    How do I know my bullion is really in the vault?

    The contents of each vault we use are audited every day by the vault owner, and the Hard Assets Alliance recon-

    ciles its report with its internal records. Once every quarter, the vault is audited by one of the Big Four international

    audit rms. An audit report of your own holdings will be sent to you directly from the auditor each quarter.

    Are the contents of the vaults secure and insured?

    The vaults we use are run by the worlds most recognized security professionals, and all are approved by the

    London Bullion Market Association (LBMA). These vaults house gold for international banks, governments,

    and others who require absolute security and complete auditability, as we do. All have round-the-clock armed

    physical security and state-of-the-art electronic protection.

    In addition, all vaults are insured for the full value of their contents including, of course, your deposit. You

    can sleep well knowing your wealth is absolutely safe, insured and, if you choose, outside the United States.

    Can I store my existing coins and bullion with HAA?

    Unfortunately, we cannot accept storage of outside metals at this time as we cannot ensure their authenticity

    without considerable effort. We are evaluating this much-requested feature for possible launch sometime in

    the future, but the decision and timeline are not nalized.

    Can I transfer my holdings from one location to another?

    Not at this time. Instead, you would simply sell in one location and buy in another.

    Q

    Q

    If I buy coins and bars, how will you know which ones are mine?

    If you purchase bars that have serial numbers, you will be provided with the serial numbers of those in your ac-count. Bullion is managed in shared storage and not tracked by individual coins. However, the full balance of all

    accounts is kept in the vault at all times. Your full holdings are completely accounted for at all times.

    Can I have bullion at multiple facilities?

    Yes, you can have metals stored in any of the vault locations we provide. You will have a choice each time you

    make a purchase.

    Can I stop by and see my metal holdings?

    For security reasons, no one except authorized representatives who have been thoroughly screened are allowed

    into the facilities. This includes only facility operations personnel and independent auditors who meet the secu-

    rity requirements of the facility operators.

    My Account

    Are customers cash accounts FDIC insured?

    Cash in your account is not FDIC insured, and it does not bear interest. Your metal holdings, however, are

    insured for their full value. Cash in your account is held in a Hard Assets Alliance subaccount of Gold Bul-

    lion International.

    Can I make monthly payments on my gold?

    You may make regular deposits into your account via check or, coming soon, ACH transfer. However, mini-

    mum order requirements exist $5,000 for metals you wish delivered directly, and $10,000 for metals you wish

    vaulted by us. Only once the full value of the purchase is cleared in your core account will you be able to make

    your purchase.

    Can I cancel a delivery?

    Your order is processed and shipped so quickly (its put out to bid almost instantly) that canceling an order is not

    possible after it has been placed.

    I am a US citizen. Are buy-and-sell transactions reported to the IRS?

    If you sell, the IRS requires us to report the gross proceeds on Form 1099.

    Other Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I take a loan or line of credit out on my stored gold?

    No.

    Can I trade the silver in my account for gold and vice versa?

    In order to exchange one metal for another, you must sell the rst holding and allow the transaction to settle, and then

    purchase the other holding. At this time, there is no direct swap available.

    Should I choose bars or coins?

    In general, we suggest you purchase the denomination that sells best in your chosen market. All markets offer

    bars, which are generally considered to have the best liquidity internationally.
