Your gold deposit
Collecting gold has always been seen in terms of security. It is the only means of payment that has retained its value over thousands of years. For many people, gold is a perpetual guarantor of stability - which is why a gold investment is so interesting. Fondsdepot Bank has developed a product that is a convenient solution for its customers: the gold custody account.
The advantages of investing in gold
What makes an investment in the form of a gold deposit attractive for your customers:
- The gold price remains largely unaffected by the stock markets and offers a hedge against inflation.
- High production costs of gold form a natural price floor.
- The value of gold is based on its rarity and the unbroken high demand.
- A share of one piece of physical gold is acquired per investment rate. Whole pieces of gold can be delivered on request.
- The gold deposit is handled flexibly like an investment fund via the fund banking portal.
- There are no fixed terms and no notice period.
- Possible price gains are tax-free after one year.

The gold custody account of Fondsdepot Bank
The Fondsdepot Bank offers the option of processing the gold custody account flexibly like an investment fund via the fund banking portal and tracking it online. This makes the gold custody account easier to process and "sell" for your sales department. The distribution of the gold custody account does not require a licence according to §34 GewO.
Investing in a gold custody account is possible as a one-time investment or as a gold savings plan, even with small amounts. Shares in physical gold that have already been purchased are shown in the fund banking portal at the current daily rate. The gold shares can be traded flexibly and without a minimum term at current market conditions. After observing a one-year speculation period, this is even possible tax-free!
How the Fondsdepot Bank gold custody account works
As an advisor, you open a gold custody account for your client via the Fondsdepot Bank and determine the desired investment modalities. With regular and/or one-off investments, your customer comes closer to his or her own savings goal for the desired gold products. Already with the first investment, co-ownership or fractional ownership of the physical gold product is acquired. Once the desired gold product has been saved in full, the savings target is reached and delivery can be requested.
Our gold custody account is attractive and inexpensive. The custody account management fee consists of a favourable basic price of currently EUR 29.90 per year plus 0.99% of the average monthly unit holding. Your customer thus benefits from the flexible services of the Fondsdepot Bank Gold securities account. In addition, there are transaction costs per unit purchase according to the enclosed overview. In the event of delivery, corresponding delivery fees must be paid.
