Tell us about your company’s role in the precious metals market?
SWP is a global leader in secure, fully allocated, and segregated precious metals storage. We specialise in helping investors, high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutions safeguard their wealth through offshore diversification.
Our primary vaulting facility is strategically located in the Cayman Islands - an ideal jurisdiction for wealth protection due to its strong asset security laws, political stability, and absence of direct taxation on bullion grade precious metals. In addition, we offer secure storage options in Canada, Switzerland, Singapore, New Zealand, Dubai and the United States, allowing our clients to diversify across multiple jurisdictions with our One Account, One World advantage.
Beyond storage, SWP facilitates the buying and selling of London Good Delivery bars, providing our clients with direct access to two-way global precious metals market. Our focus on integrity, discretion, and personalised service has made us a trusted partner for those seeking to preserve and grow their wealth through physical precious metals ownership.
What’s the background and history of the company?
Founded in 2014, SWP was established in response to growing demand for secure offshore bullion storage outside the traditional banking system. Recognising that investors were seeking politically stable, tax-efficient jurisdictions to safeguard their assets, we chose the Cayman Islands as our headquarters.
Over the years, we have expanded both our physical presence and our service offerings, growing from a single-location storage provider to an international firm with a network of world-class vaulting facilities. We have built strong relationships with leading refiners, mints, and financial institutions, allowing us to offer our clients a seamless, full-service precious metals solution.
Despite our growth, our core philosophy has remained unchanged: trust, security, and personalised service are the foundation of everything we do. Today, SWP continues to be an independent, client-focused firm dedicated to helping investors protect and diversify its wealth through physical precious metals ownership. In fact, our new purpose-built 6000 square foot facility is designed to not only the highest security specifications but also to accommodate our clients who wish to visit and self-audit their metals.
What factors do you expect to impact your business in the short to long term?
In the short term, ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty, rising inflation, and geopolitical instability are driving heightened demand for physical gold and silver as safe-haven assets. With central banks increasing their gold reserves and investors seeking alternatives to traditional financial assets, we expect continued strong demand for secure storage and efficient trading solutions.
Regulatory developments will also shape our industry, particularly in the areas of compliance and transparency. We are closely monitoring evolving AML (Anti-Money Laundering) regulations and best practices to ensure that SWP remains ahead of the curve in terms of security and compliance.
In the longer term, we anticipate a growing shift toward decentralisation, with investors looking for more control over their assets outside the traditional banking system. Additionally, technological advancements such as blockchain-based authentication and digital asset integration with physical bullion will likely play a role in shaping the future of precious metals ownership. SWP is committed to staying at the forefront of these trends, ensuring that we continue to provide innovative and secure solutions for our clients.
What are your future plans for the business?
SWP is focused on expanding our global storage network to provide clients with even greater jurisdictional diversification. We are actively exploring new locations that offer strong asset protection laws, geopolitical stability, and tax efficiency.
Additionally, we are investing in technology to enhance our clients' experience. From improved online trading platforms to digital auditing solutions, our goal is to provide seamless, transparent, and secure access to the precious metals market.
Education and thought leadership will also continue to be a key focus for SWP. We believe that informed investors make better decisions, and we are committed to sharing our insights through industry partnerships, thought leadership articles, and client education initiatives.
As we look to the future, our mission remains clear: to provide secure, transparent, and efficient precious metals storage and trading solutions that help our clients preserve and protect their wealth for generations to come.
