When you purchase precious metals through our platform, the prices and fees are clearly stated to avoid surprises.
We guarantee the ability to buy and sell at 1.8% of the current wholesale market gold price. This fee includes all spreads, premiums, and commissions. No hidden fees. No gimmicks.
Our 0.4% annual maintenance fee is billed on a semi-annual basis (every January & July). We have no minimum maintenance fee. You only pay for what you store. Important note: the maintenance fee goes away as soon as you choose to take delivery of your metal.

The best cost structure in the industry. Period.
No really...we checked. Vaulted delivers the most affordable cost structure in the industry by minimizing the three hidden costs of gold investing: spreads, premiums, and taxes. We are committed to minimizing transaction costs to give investors peace of mind about what they are spending.
Spreads and Premiums
The spread or premium represents the price of a certain gold product over gold's spot price (for example, a 1-ounce gold coin might cost $2,150 even if gold's spot price is $2,000). Gold investors typically pay a 3-15% premium on gold’s spot price in addition to transaction costs. Spreads and premiums can skyrocket during supply chain disruptions and times of high demand. Vaulted investors do not need to worry about these issues. We keep our spread close to 0 by cutting out 70% of the traditional gold supply chain. Less people take a cut of your investment, so you get the best prices every time.
Taxes
Taxes are another major cost of buying gold. Gold-backed ETFs, other online gold accounts, and physical coins/bullion are taxed as collectibles in the United States, meaning they face a 28% long-term capital gains tax rate. Vaulted assets are subject to a different tax structure that may reduce your tax liability by 30-50%. Please connect with your Vaulted advisor and consult a tax professional for more details on the tax implications of your capital gains in Vaulted.
*Your Vaulted advisor can explain how Vaulted is taxed compared to other investment vehicles, however all investors should also consult a tax professional.*
No Matter How Much You Invest, Rest Assured We Are Not Wasting Your Money On Senseless Fees.
Vaulted pricing is transparent, trustworthy, and affordable.
We are able to lower fees by using cutting-edge technology, eliminating unnecessary middlemen, keeping overhead costs low, and storing any vaulted gold bars directly at their manufacturer, the Royal Canadian Mint. We pass those efficiencies on to you.
Source of Gold
Vaulted employs the power of The Royal Canadian Mint's conflict-free refining expertise. They have introduced the Responsible Precious Metals Program, aimed at identifying and validating the chain of custody of incoming gold-bearing refining deposits.
The Royal Canadian Mint's rigor of production standards is equalled by the stringency of their security protocols, which are implemented at every level of refinery and vaulting operations.
The refinery is a restricted environment controlled by security personnel and supported by state-of-the-art surveillance technology.
The gold you purchase is guaranteed to be conflict-free. Vaulted avoids all sources of gold that deny basic human rights, or which finance and contribute to abuses of human rights.
