How do I pay my storage fees?

You will be emailed an invoice for your storage fees at the end of each month.  These fees will be paid using your available cash balance in MetalDesk.  Should you not have the funds available, you will need to top up your MetalDesk account balance.

 

When will I start paying for the storage of my holdings?

You will only start paying for your bullion holdings once they have been delivered to the Bullion Capital Storage Network.  All gold, silver and platinum products will incur storage fees while in a Bullion Capital Vault.

How much does storage cost?

The annual storage fees are as follows:

Gold (% pa) Silver (% pa) Platinum (% pa)
0.5 % 0.5 % 0.5 %
How are storage fees calculated?

Storage fees are calculated daily, and charge monthly.  You will only pay storage on the bullion that you hold at the close of the primary trading session, bullion that you own that has not yet been delivered to the vault will not accrue storage fees.  You will pay storage fees at the annual rate that has been agreed between yourself and your broker, or Bullion Capital.  Storage fees are paid in arrears.

My holdings aren’t showing up in MetalDesk?

The most likely reason for your holdings not to show up is that you might be looking at the wrong market place within MetalDesk.  The AUD and USD markets operate independently of each other.  If you have made a purchase in the USD market, it won’t show as holdings if you’re looking at your AUD holdings report (and vice versa).

You can change the market that you’re looking at in the ‘Settings’ tab within MetalDesk.  You can also see which marketplace you are currently trading on by looking at the light grey bar along the top of the platform.

When will bullion I’ve purchased arrive in the Vault?

All Trade Confirmations that are generated by MetalDesk will have a ‘Bullion Vault Status’ detailed. Bullion that is marked as ‘To Be Deposited’ will be delivered to the relevant vault by the ‘Delivery Date’ as listed on the Trade Confirmation.

Some trades will be executed on Deposited bullion, which is bullion that is already in the Bullion Capital Storage Network.  If this is the case, the ‘Bullion Vault Status’ will be ‘Deposited’, and the value date and delivery dates won’t be on the confirmation.
