ALLOCATED & SEGREGATED STORAGE
International Depository Services Group stores clients’ metal almost exclusively as segregated storage. The only exception is with pool accounts which are allocated by nature.
Allocated storage is when precious metals are co-mingled (mixed) with other clients’ metals. Some depositories offer allocated storage because it does not require a dedicated space for a particular client within the depository. Therefore, while the metal is the same type of metal deposited initially, it will not be the exact metal originally deposited when a client takes delivery. This type of account is not recommended.
Conversely, a more preferred option is segregated storage, which IDS Group offers, except in the case of pool accounts. Segregated storage guarantees that the client’s deposited metal is stored separately from other clients. Segregated storage ensures that the metal client’s deliver on is the exact metals initially delivered to the depository for safekeeping. Typically, segregated storage is dedicated space within the International Depository Services Group’s gold vault. IDS Group offers segregated storage at no additional cost to account holders.
