“Here at the Sovereign Society, we have often wondered if there couldn't be a more convenient, safer way to own precious metals. With SmartMetals™, we don't have to wonder anymore - it's here.”
-Erika Nolan, Executive Director, Sovereign Society

Physical Metal

The bullion you buy from Hard Assets Alliance is just that: your bullion. A precise amount of physical gold, silver, platinum, or palladium belongs to you and can be shipped anywhere you wish. Gold storage is at your choice of vaults. Silver, platinum, or palladium storage is in New York and Salt Lake City. There's no "pool accounts," no paper proxies, no funny business.


Low Cost

The SmartMetals platform is shared by high-net-worth client advisors, major hedge funds, and large institutional gold buyers. You benefit from the volume-based premiums those clients demand. As a result, the Alliance provides some of the lowest premiums and storage fees available anywhere, without sacrificing service, speed, or security.

Transparent Accounting

The contents of each vault we use are audited every day by the vault owner, and the Hard Assets Alliance reconciles its report with its internal records. Once every quarter, the vault is audited by one of the Big Four international audit firms. At any time, you may access your account on line and view your holdings.


Global Storage Options

Store your gold with total security in fully audited and insured independent vaults in New York, Salt Lake City, Zurich, London, Singapore, or Melbourne (with silver, platinum, or palladium storage in New York and Salt Lake City) – the same vaults used by central banks and governments throughout the world. More locations coming soon.


Of course, you can also have your bullion delivered anywhere in the world via bonded, insured carrier, for storage however you see fit.

Highest Quality Bullion

The bullion we handle is exclusively sovereign coins and bars from approved refiners. You can sell or trade your bullion in a matter of seconds, with proceeds credited to your account and available for additional purchases, or transfer to your bank.
