Interesting facts about precious metal deposits
How secure is a precious metal deposit really?
The security of a precious metals depository depends largely on the storage environment, internal processes, and external controls. At Geiger Edelmetalle, you benefit from safekeeping in high-security facilities with 24/7 monitoring, insurance coverage through one of the world's largest insurers, and strictly controlled access processes based on the six-eyes principle. Separation from business assets further guarantees that your precious metals always remain your legal property – even in the event of insolvency.
Duty-free warehouse or precious metals depot – which is better?
Beide Lagerformen haben ihre Stärken. Das Edelmetalldepot bietet den Vorteil der inländischen Lagerung mit hohem Versicherungsschutz und schneller Verfügbarkeit. Ein Zollfreilager hingegen ist besonders für die steuerfreie Lagerung von Silber, Platin und Palladium interessant. Dort entfällt die Mehrwertsteuer auf den Kauf, solange keine Auslieferung erfolgt. Wer also steuerlich optimiert investieren möchte, wählt oft das Zollfreilager. Für Gold hingegen bietet das Edelmetalldepot mit steuerfreier Veräußerung nach einem Jahr (§ 23 EStG) eine äußerst attraktive Lösung.
Why does storage outside the banking system make sense?
More and more investors are specifically seeking alternatives to bank storage. Reasons for this include the risk of bank insolvencies, political intervention, or limited availability in times of crisis. Storing precious metals through an independent depository protects your assets from systemic risks and offers additional discretion – without reporting requirements, but with full ownership documentation.
How do I get my gold when I need it?
With Geiger Edelmetalle's precious metals depot, you remain flexible: You can sell your stored precious metals at any time or have them physically delivered. Processing is discreet, fast, and secure – by shipping to your desired address or by appointment. Partial delivery is also easily possible.
What happens to my precious metals portfolio in the event of my death?
Storage is always in your name. In the event of death, the deposit can be transferred to your heirs or redeemed in full – upon presentation of appropriate documentation. Thanks to clear documentation of ownership and personal assignment, the administration of your estate is legally unambiguous.
