Vaulting Cost Formula

Annual Vault Charge = Gold Value × Vault Rate
Total = (Annual Vault + Custody + Insurance) × Years + Setup + Withdrawal

Why the Annual Rate Can Be Misleading

A low percentage fee can still have meaningful fixed custody and transaction costs. Conversely, a higher headline percentage can be competitive for smaller balances when fixed charges are low.

Compare the Full Fee Schedule

Professional vaulting comparisons should look beyond the headline storage percentage. Administration, transfers, withdrawal, insurance and minimum charges can change the actual economics.
