We offer you fair sale and purchase conditions and transparent pricing through our website. We are the ideal contact for financial intermediaries (banks, investment advisors, insurance firms, etc.)
The interest in precious metals as a way to store value has increased significantly over recent years, as has the demand for various custody and storage sites, accordingly. Likewise, the demand has been growing constantly for custody options outside the banking sector. Liemeta AG therefore enables the purchase and sale of precious metals plus safe custody in a high-security storage facility outside the banking sector. To that end, we have created a unique alternative in one of the safest locations in Europe, Liechtenstein. In Hong Kong, precious metals can likewise be traded and stored. Precious metal transports can be undertaken globally from these locations.
Gold
A means of payment, security, and freedom
The shiny yellow metal has been accepted for thousands of years globally as a means of payment. Due to its natural scarcity, high acceptance, and universal payment characteristics, it has guaranteed stability of value in times of inflation. For many, gold is the most beautiful precious metal and is also commonly processed into jewellery, therefore. In addition, it also has an established value in industry.
Gold-mining has become ever more expensive over recent decades, as deposits are ever harder to access, and the mining cost alone has been constantly rising.
Gold is an important supplement to any individual structured asset portfolio.
Gold ensures purchasing power, is always liquid, has no counterparty risk, and provides the owner with maximum flexibility. As one way of hedging against risk in the event of currency and banking crises, storage outside the banking sector is to be recommended.

Silver
as money, an industrial metal, and an investment
The younger brother of gold has likewise always served as money. It was contained in every dollar, frank, or mark coin. Just like gold, it has a value as a means of payment. Silver is not only an investment metal but is also a significant industrial metal. Approximately two-thirds of annual production is used for example in medical technology, in the semiconductor industry, or in other sectors. Most silver is not mined directly but is a by-product of the mining for example of copper and cobalt.
It is also used with impressive results in silversmithing.
Silver is likewise a sensible supplement to any portfolio and, due to its increasing industrial use, has a corresponding potential to grow in value.

Platinum
As a supplement and for diversification
Platinum likewise has an established place amongst metals used for jewellery and in industry. For a long time, it was more expensive than gold and attracted a smaller range of investors. Due to the ongoing rapid development of fuel cell technology, major opportunities have opened up for platinum. In addition, it is used in every mobile phone, catalytic converter, and many other products.
Palladium
As a supplement and for diversification
Palladium is a member of the group of platinum metals and can be used in similar ways to platinum. It is essential in the automotive industry and mobile telephone technology.
Due to its role in chemical reactions, it is used in the catalytic converters of all internal combustion engines.
Its increased value over recent years has raised palladium’s profile ever further for investors.
