In 2008, when Lehman Brothers’ US$35 trillion worth of derivative positions were defaulted upon, being twice the GDP of the United States, our global financial system came within hours of collapsing.

Ownership of physical precious metals, such as gold and silver, were one of the few real stores of wealth that did not depend on somebody’s solvency. People quickly bought them from every dealer or bank that still had stock, regardless of large premiums charged over the spot price.

During that tumultuous financial landscape, amidst the chaos and uncertainty brought on by the Global Financial Crisis, it became clear that owning physical precious metals in a safe jurisdiction was a necessity - setting the genesis of what would later become our company, Silver Bullion.

While the crisis was largely averted through massive bailouts in 2008, the unsustainable debt growth and societal division since then have fuelled political divisions and flamed civil unrest in many countries. Together with growing geopolitical tensions these trends are increasing the likelihood of systemic crises, which might be too big and contentious for bailouts.

We Provide Intergenerational Systemic Wealth Protection

Physical gold and silver have proven their worth in crises, are indestructible and have been intrinsically valuable for 5,000 years across nearly all human societies. When properly secured, they are an ideal wealth insurance as their value is intrinsic and not derived from working financial systems, counterparties or governments.

Investment grade precious metals have all the advantages of physical objects, allowing direct ownership, while providing the liquidity and pricing clarity typical of financial instruments.

We specialize in securing our clients’ assets for the very long term. Find out how we protect your Wealth.
