CERTIFICATE SECURITY

THE UNIQUE SECURITY FEATURES OF GOLD AND SILVER HERITAGE CERTIFICATES : Security features are designed to prevent fraudulent dealing with clients bullion accounts, and certificate counterfeit, fraud, theft or accidental disposal such as loss or fire. Bullion Account and Certificate security features include client account number, password and identification verification checks.

Further certificate security features include individual certificate issue number and hidden certificate fingerprint security. These measures are designed to provide the highest level security, while maintaining the individual holder’s privacy and ease of bullion account and certificate sale, transfer, redemption and other dealings.

Traditionally, issuers of bullion certificates have issued “bearer certificates”. This means the “bearer” of the certificate has legal claim over the certificate and its underlying bullion, irrespective of the methods used to become the holder (bearer) of the certificate.

If at any time a Gold or Silver Heritage Certificate should fall into the wrong hands, the legal claim to the certificate and its underlying bullion continues to remain with the bullion account holder.

Each Gold or Silver Heritage Certificate contains it’s own individual issue number and unique hidden certificate security fingerprint. The hidden ultraviolet fingerprint of each certificate differs from the next, fully protecting the certificate from counterfeit. Upon issuing Gold or Silver Heritage Certificates, AFE records the individual issue number, along with its security fingerprint in the client's bullion account records.

ADVANTAGES OF BULLION BANKING
WITH AFE

BULLION BANKING WITH AFE OFFERS SOME IMPORTANT ADVANTAGES, BENIFITS & FEATURES

INDEPENDENT VAULT STORAGE AND GOVERNANCE : This is the key feature with AFE bullion banking. Client bullion holdings are independently vaulted OUTSIDE of the larger institutionalised bullion banking industry.

Increasingly, research and analysis now in the public domain, indicate large short positions and highly fractionalised bullion holdings on the books of large bullion banks. Many market analysts and commentators fear future systemic failure in the bullion industry, putting at risk bullion holdings of bullion service providers utilizing the bullion banking industry for the storage of their clients bullion holdings.MORE

AFE's independent vaulting and strict governance fully protect and insulate its client's from this type of market failure.

100% BULLION BACKING & GOVERNANCE : Client Bullion Accounts are at all times backed by a minimum of 100% gold or silver bullion. Bullion holdings held on behalf of bullion account holders are independently audited and verified to confirm an a minimum of 100% bullion backing, and are further protected by an Independent Third Party Custodian.

OUTRIGHT OWNERSHIP : AFE bullion account holders have OUTRIGHT and COMPLETE ownership of an actual and defined amount of physical bullion.

With many bullion equity and investment schemes, the shareholder owns a beneficial interest (or shares) in a company, investment trust or equity, which inturns owns physical bullion (most times this bullion is stored by institutional bullion banks - see Independent Vault Storage above). The value of the shareholder/investor's shares is determined by the value of the company's bullion holdings.

Owning shares or a beneficial interest in a company is not the same as OUTRIGHT ownership of physical gold and/or silver.

SECURITY & SAFETY : The operation of Bullion Accounts is designed to fully protect the account holder and their bullion holdings. Safety features have been designed to provide the greatest level of security, while maintaining the individual account holder's privacy, and ease of account dealings.

LOW MARGINS Bullion Accounts enable the client to buy and hold gold and silver bullion at very competitive and low margins above the spot price of the metal. Purchasing physical precious metals in other forms can command much larger margins above the spot price of the metal.

LIQUIDITY & FLEXIBILITY Bullion held in Bullion Accounts is extremely liquid, and can be very rapidly and easily sold at the bullion spot price on that day. Alternatively at any time, clients may take physical delivery of their underlying physical bullion.

COST EFFECTIVE HOLDING : Bullion Banking clients are part of a large group of precious metals investors and owners managed by AFE, and are therefore able to take full advantage of "large scale" cost savings associated with buying, vaulting, insuring and reselling of their gold and silver bullion in large wholesale quantities.

SECURE ONLINE TRADING Bullion accounts allow the client to securely, rapidly and privately trade physical gold or silver through the security of online encrypted electronic lodgment of instructions.

BULLION ACCOUNT TRANSACTIONS : In many cases, bullion accounts from large bullion banks require a minimum initial outlay of US $50,000 or more. AFE Bullion Accounts accommodates the purchaser who wants to start with a smaller affordable investment of just a few ounces at time.
