In 2008, when Lehman Brothers’s USD 35 trillion worth of derivative positions were defaulted upon, being twice the GDP of the United States, our global financial system was 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.

Gold and silver stored by us is independent of the banking system, third parties and foreign jurisdictions. Bullion is owned by our client as their segregated private property, is tested and guaranteed to be genuine, well insured and only subject to Singapore jurisdiction.

To underscore these principles and prepare for the increased safe heaven demand caused by global geopolitical uncertainty, we have built The Reserve, one of the world’s highest capacity vaults, spanning 180,000 sqft with a capacity of around 340 million ounces of precious metals.

The Reserve Vault and our fully owned, debt free precious metals holdings, approximately total SGD 80 million (USD 63 million) in company net assets – held independently of the financial system - make us a solid long-term counterparty choice in this new age of turbulence.
