Outsourced Chief
Metals Office
AbreuGold serves as the Outsourced Chief Metals Office for families, family offices, trusts, and business owners who hold meaningful positions in physical precious metals. We act as an extension of your team, owning every decision about your metal so you never have to: what to hold, where to store it, how it is insured and audited, and how it will pass to the next generation.
Engagements range from a defined mandate for a single family to full oversight of a multi-generational holding. Whatever the scope, every ounce remains 100% allocated, segregated in your own account, and verified by an independent third party.

Outsourced Chief Metals Office FAQs
It is a dedicated desk that runs your family's physical metals program the way a chief investment officer runs a portfolio. We handle allocation, sourcing, vaulting, insurance review, audit reporting, and estate coordination, and we report to you and your advisors. Every ounce stays 100% allocated, segregated in your own account, and third-party audited.
Physical metal needs specialist attention that most family offices do not keep in house: sourcing at fair premiums, choosing vaults across jurisdictions, checking insurance limits, following up on audits, and keeping clean records for heirs. Outsourcing brings that expertise without adding staff, with one accountable desk and independent partners checking the work.
Your holdings statements list every bar and coin by serial number, location, and title, alongside the latest independent audit results and a summary of your insurance in storage and in transit. Between audits, you can request a video verification, usually within two business days, or visit the vault in person. Reports can go straight to your advisor, attorney, or CPA.
Yes. The desk is built to sit alongside your wealth advisor, attorney, CPA, and existing custodians, not to replace them. We share the facts they need on holdings, cost basis, and titling, follow your investment policy, and join planning meetings when you ask. Your advisors continue to give the investment, tax, and legal advice.
