Precious Metals Bullion Trust is a secure, convenient and low-cost way to invest in physical gold, platinum and silver bullion, on a Canadian dollar-hedged basis.
Secure:
- All physical gold, silver and platinum bullion bars are stored on a fully allocated, insured and physically segregated basis in Canada, in the treasury vaults of the Bank of Nova Scotia, a Canadian Schedule 1 bank.
Convenient:
- Investors can hold an interest in physical gold, silver and platinum bullion by buying units of the Fund directly on the Toronto Stock Exchange
- Units are traded through investment dealers, like any other exchange-traded security.
- Investors should contact their investment advisors to buy or sell units of the Fund.
- Units can be redeemed quarterly for physical gold, silver and platinum bullion (subject to minimum redemption amounts).
Low-Cost:
- The Trust offers investors a lower-cost alternative to buying and storing bullion directly, due to economies of scale in the purchase and secure storage of physically segregated gold, silver and platinum bullion.
Canadian Dollar-Hedged:
- Many investors buy physical gold, silver and platinum bullion to hedge against potential devaluation of the US dollar.
- As bullion prices are quoted in US dollars, a weakening US dollar could reduce or eliminate the real value of increased bullion price.
- The Fund gives investors an additional layer of protection against this risk by eliminating US dollar exposure through hedging its bullion holdings to the Canadian dollar.
