Gold held in custody at The Royal Mint
RMAU gold is custodied at The Royal Mint’s highly secure vault outside the London banking systems, providing an attractive option for investors seeking real diversification in their gold custody arrangements.
Responsible sourcing of gold
RMAU is 100% physically backed by LBMA post-2019 good delivery bars. Investors can uniquely redeem for physical gold from The Royal Mint. The physical gold ETC is also shariah compliant.
Recycled gold
The physical gold ETC is partially backed by 100% recycled gold bars. Recycled gold is far less carbon-intensive than mined gold.
Hedge against uncertainty
During periods of economic uncertainty, gold is often favoured. Its variable price can offset currency devaluations.
Responsibly sourced
Gold exposure can be sustainable. Exposure can be achieved through recycled gold, or gold that adheres to responsible sourcing criteria.
Growing demand
Gold has proven to be useful not only as an enduring store of value, but as a conductor, driving demand for the metal.
RMAU tracks the spot price of physical gold and offers investors access to the gold market, whilst also being shariah compliant. It is the first financial product to be sponsored by The Royal Mint. Uniquely, retail investors can redeem for physical bars and coins stored at The Royal Mint’s secure vault in Llantrisant, Wales. 100% of the gold custodied is backed by London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) post-2019 Good Delivery bars, of which approximately half of the gold is 100% recycled. Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine, all gold bars of Russian origin were removed from the Physical Gold ETC.
Key Risks

Any decision to invest should be based on the information contained in the relevant prospectus. ETC securities are structured as debt securities and not as shares (equity). For a complete overview of all the risks, please refer to the “Risk Factors” in the Prospectus.

About Partner
The Royal Mint has an unbroken history of minting British coinage dating back over 1,100 years. Based in the Tower of London for over 500 years, by 1812 The Royal Mint had moved out of the Tower to premises on London’s Tower Hill. In 1967 the building of a new Royal Mint began on its current site in South Wales, UK, to accommodate the minting of UK decimal coinage.
Throughout history The Royal Mint’s name has been synonymous with precious metals and bullion. The organisation trades physical and digital precious metal worldwide via www.royalmintbullion.com and a global network of distributor partners.
The Royal Mint has also diversified into a number of other complementary businesses, building on the values that have been at the heart of the organisation throughout its history – authenticity, security, precious metals, craftsmanship and design. www.royalmint.com
