For investors seeking a safe haven for their financial assets, Bullion Custodial Services Inc (BCS), a BMG Company , now provides a secure and reliable means of purchasing investment-grade precious metals bullion bars, and optionally provides allocated and insured storage. Louis Boulanger Now Limited is an authorized dealer for BMG BullionBarsTM.

Individual BMG BullionBarsTM can be purchased in five different products: Gold in one kilogram bars, 100-ounce bars and 400-ounce bars, Silver in 1,000-ounce bars, and Platinum in 50-ounce bars.

With each bullion bar purchased, the BCS registry maintains all the details of the BMG BullionBarsTM and owners. None of the client details are at all connected to the internet, providing the highest security and confidentiality for BMG BullionBarsTM owners. This registry also allows owners to easily sell their bullion.

A physical bullion deed, identifying smelter, serial number, fineness and exact weight of bars, is also issued for your recordkeeping. By entering into a storage holding agreement, the bullion will be stored at The Bank of Nova Scotia in Toronto, Canada. The Bank of Nova Scotia provides investors a secure, fully allocated and insured storage facility. On a delivery request, the purchaser is required to pay shipping, insurance and handling fee.

Process: Investors must first fill out the BCS Application Form and agree to submit to World Check verification. Once BCS approves an application, clients are required to open and fund their purchase account by wire transfer. An order for BMG BullionBars can then easily and conveniently be placed.

Fees: These have now considerably reduced given the volume of business achieved to date. On purchase, clients must pay a purchase charge on top of the prevailing market (spot) price; the purchase charge varies between 1% and 2.5% of the bullion’s purchase price, depending on the size of the order.
Ongoing storage, including insurance, (if this option is selected) costs between 0.75% and 1% per annum for gold and platinum bullion and between 1.0% and 1.25% per annum for silver bullion, depending on the size of the order.
Selling bullion already owned and in storage incurs a sales charge of between 0.5% and 1%, depending on the size of the order.
Delivery charges vary considerably depending on the size, value and weight of the order, as well as the destination.

If you are unfamiliar with BMG (Bullion Management Group Inc), they are based in Toronto, Canada, and have been managing the BMG BullionFundTM [formerly called The Millennium BullionFund] since March 2002.

The BMG BullionFundTM is the world's first and only open-end mutual fund trust that invests exclusively in equal proportions of unencumbered, fully allocated gold, silver and platinum bullion.
