How to Invest in
Strategic Metals
How does this Purchase Work?
Unlike precious and industrial metals traded on public exchanges, technology metals and rare earth elements are purchased through specialist industry dealers. These materials are sourced through established industrial supply chains that traditionally serve manufacturers rather than private investors. Through our professional trading and custody arrangements, we provide private investors with structured access to selected strategic metals in physical form.
1 Choose your Strategic Metals
The selection of strategic metals offered to private investors are those which, based on the areas of application of the metal and 27 years of experience in this industry, are considered the best tangible assets for investors in the medium and long term.
These include:
- Technology Metals:
Antimony, Bismuth, Gallium, Germanium, Hafnium, Indium, and Rhenium. - Rare Earth Elements:
Dysprosium, Neodymium, Praseodymium, and Terbium. - Strategic Precious Metals:
Iridium, Rhodium, and Ruthenium.
Availability of individual metals may vary depending on prevailing market conditions.
The minimum investment amount is $10,000/€10,000. You can choose any combination of these strategic metals (pick & mix).
Investors acquire collective or fractional ownership of physical strategic metals held in professional custody. The following table provides the standard industrial packaging specifications for our technology metals and rare earth elements:

2 Purchase your Strategic Metals
Once you have chosen the strategic metal(s) or basket you would like to purchase, we will guide you through the next steps.
Our specialist operational partner handles the purchase and custody agreements, payment instructions, and administration of your holdings.
Once the purchase is completed, your ownership interest in the physical metals is recorded within the professional custody system. You receive the relevant documentation confirming your holding.
Metals are held in an insured Swiss bonded warehouse, providing a secure and tax-efficient storage environment. The applicable tax treatment depends on the investor’s country of residence and the circumstances of any future sale or physical delivery.
3 Store your Strategic Metals
Unlike shares or investment funds, strategic metals are tangible physical assets that require appropriate storage, documentation, and handling.
Metals purchased through our framework are held in an insured Swiss bonded warehouse, providing professional custody outside the banking system.
The metals are maintained in their original industrial packaging wherever applicable, with batch references and certificates of analysis retained to preserve their quality, authenticity, and suitability for future resale.
Investor ownership interests are recorded within the custody system, and the underlying holdings are subject to annual verification by an independent auditor.
Professional storage provides more than physical security. It helps maintain the industrial integrity and documentation needed to reintroduce these materials efficiently into established trading channels when an investor chooses to sell.
4 Liquidating your Strategic Metals/ exit strategy
Strategic metals are generally best suited to medium- to long-term ownership, but investors are not locked into a fixed holding period.
When you decide to sell, you can request a buy-back offer through our established physical metals trading network. The offer reflects prevailing market conditions and the specific metals held.
Once a buy-back offer is accepted, sale proceeds are typically transferred to the investor’s bank account within 2–3 days.
Depending on market demand and inventory requirements, metals may be retained within the trading network for subsequent resale or returned to the wider industrial market.
Professional custody, industrial-grade specifications, and complete documentation all help support an efficient resale process. Buy-back offers remain subject to market conditions and are not guaranteed.
5 Monitor Your Strategic Metals Portfolio
Once your purchase is completed, you receive access to a secure online client portal where you can view your holdings and monitor their indicative value.
Your physical metals remain professionally stored, while the online system provides a convenient way to follow your portfolio without the need for separate administrative reporting.
We remain available to provide market information, discuss developments affecting individual metals, and assist with questions about your holdings.
