LBMA

Not all that glitters is 999.9 fine gold

When it comes to vaulted gold, you must ALWAYS make sure it is LBMA-certified gold!

LBMA stands for London Bullion Market Association, the international association representing the wholesale gold and silver market in London. Founded in 1987, it sets the quality standards (“Good Delivery”) for bullion bars and defines the world’s reference prices for precious metals.

Here are the key points to understand the LBMA:

• Standard-setting authority: the LBMA safeguards the quality and authenticity of precious metals. The “Good Delivery” List sets the purity (minimum 99.5%) and weight requirements for bars, recognised worldwide.
• Price benchmarks: it owns the LBMA Gold Price (formerly the London Gold Fixing), the international benchmark price set twice daily (morning and afternoon auctions) for gold and once daily for silver, administered by ICE Benchmark Administration.
• International membership: over 190 members, including banks, refiners, miners and traders from 27 countries.
• An independent authority: the LBMA operates as the independent authority for the global precious metals market and works closely with the Bank of England, which promoted its creation in 1987 and acts as custodian for the London market.

LBMA-certified bars offer the highest level of trust and marketability in the physical gold market, guaranteeing that the product meets rigorous standards of integrity and purity.

Worldwide, only around 65 refiners hold LBMA Good Delivery accreditation for gold — compared with the thousands upon thousands of refiners that do not.
