YOUR SCENARIO

Scenario arithmetic only. Tax, financing, currency conversion and changes in custody value are excluded.

How the comparison works.

Opening reference value
Fine troy ounces × opening reference per ounce.
Acquisition and custody
Opening value × (1 + premium rate), plus one-time fees and holding years × the higher of the annual minimum or opening value × the custody rate. Annual fees are prorated over fractional years and the fee base stays fixed.
Scenario proceeds
Fine troy ounces × scenario exit reference × (1 − sale discount). Compare this with the modeled acquisition and custody outlay.
Break-even reference
Total modeled outlay ÷ fine troy ounces ÷ (1 − sale discount). This is a calculation under the input assumptions.

Use written terms and confirm any charges or terms outside the model. Scenarios do not predict returns or establish the best product for an individual.
