FAQs

Your interest in the nominee company's aggregate holding of physical assets will be reflected in the account maintained for you whilst your relationship will solely be with Ravenscroft. The physical assets held on your account will be your property so that Ravenscroft, via its nominee company, will provide bailment services only and shall not take ownership as trustee.
Your assets will be held in the vault on an allocated pool basis, with the exact amount of bars, coins and grain required stored and segregated by asset type.
