Precious metals in Switzerland: your questions

I advise you personally on physical gold, silver, platinum and palladium – your metal is held in your name in the Embraport free port in Embrach near Zurich.

When your purchase order is executed, the metal becomes your property. The register shows your name with the exact holding in grams – not a claim against a company. The product partner's current contractual, insurance and storage terms are binding. General information does not replace individual financial, legal or tax advice.

AUPA Global LTD arranges the purchase of physical precious metals from EM Global Service AG. The sole contracting party for purchase, custody and buy-back is EM Global Service AG. AUPA Global does not accept client money and does not provide investment advice or asset management. The prices of gold and silver are subject to fluctuation; past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The metal is stored physically at the Embraport free-port vault in Embrach near Zurich, a high-security facility close to the airport. Outside the banking system and outside the EU. The product partner's current contractual, insurance and storage terms are binding. General information does not replace individual financial, legal or tax advice.

Client holdings are kept as third-party assets, separate from the product partner’s own assets. In the event of insolvency, your metal does not form part of the bankruptcy estate.

This concept website does not specify binding minimum amounts. Ask Gregor for current entry amounts, monthly contributions and contractual requirements. The amounts selected in the calculator are examples, not a product quotation.

Check all initial and recurring costs: purchase premiums, intermediary or setup charges, storage, insurance, sale spreads, delivery and currency conversion. Request a written breakdown for your amount. The calculator does not deduct these product costs.

Yes. Metal prices can fall substantially. Exchange rates, trading spreads and ongoing fees can further reduce the result. Physical ownership does not prevent market losses. Returns are not guaranteed, and past performance is not a reliable promise of future results.

The currency control displays prices and calculations in Swiss francs, euros or US dollars. It does not change your contractual currency or physical holdings. Historical conversions use the annual exchange rates stored in the original calculator; currency movements can materially change the result.

Choose a starting amount, monthly contribution, duration and metal mix. Results exclude product costs and taxes. The default assumes no growth. Historical average rates can be selected as hypothetical scenarios, not forecasts or personal recommendations. Even the scenario called cautious can be too optimistic.

The history uses annual averages for 2006–2025 taken from AUPA Global's original calculator, with the current spot value marked separately. Annual averages are not daily transaction prices. The original cites LBMA and OECD/FRED; this website has not independently verified a complete trading series. Index 100 means the starting year, not a 100% gain.

Selling and buyback are governed by your agreement with EM Global Service AG. Clarify the process, buyback price, charges, processing time and payment before signing. This website does not execute trades or guarantee immediate liquidity or a particular sale price.

Clarify physical delivery, minimum quantities, transport and applicable duties beforehand. Storage in a bonded warehouse does not make every later delivery or personal tax situation permanently tax-free. The metal, product and transaction matter. Consult a qualified tax adviser and current BAZG and ESTV information.

The website and calculator support German, English, Spanish, French, Croatian, Italian, Portuguese and Tamil. Gregor's profile lists German for conversations; a translated page does not promise that he speaks every language. Available times come from the original AUPA system in Europe/Zurich. Booking is confirmed only after a positive response from that system.
