Frequently Asked Questions About Forward Allocation
Clarity regarding lock-in pricing, delivery terms, and contractual protections.
Is the price fixed at contract signing?
Yes. The base gold price and discount percentage are locked at the exact moment of order execution. If gold spot rises during your 3, 6, or 12-month term, your purchase price remains fixed at the discounted rate, multiplying your effective gains.
Can I choose delivery or vaulted storage upon maturity?
Yes. 14 days prior to your forward maturity date, our custodial concierge will contact you to confirm whether you prefer discreet, fully insured courier delivery to your private address or allocated storage in our London vault facility.
What legal documentation do I receive?
Immediately upon settlement, you receive a legally binding Golden Star Met Forward Allocation Certificate, detailing the exact bar weight, fineness (999.9), refinery partner, fixed maturity date, and insurance coverage under UK commercial contract law.
What is the minimum allocation amount?
The Forward Reserve Program is open starting from 100g physical gold bars for 3-month terms, and 250g/1kg bars for 6-month and 12-month terms. Custom institutional contracts are available for orders exceeding 5kg.
