The full brokerage MetalDesk precious metals trading platform offers institutions something new and unique to complement their existing services.
To-date buying physical precious metals could only be directly sourced from the various bullion markets by telephone / manual ordering and it is also impeded by the twice daily fix.
Through MetalDesk you are now able to trade allocated bullion 23 hours a day globally with constant real-time regional price discovery, which allows for the possibility of inter-market arbitrage.

The exchange has been designed to prevent the front-running of orders and MetalDesk also allows you and your clients to place trades completely anonymously.

Anyone holding certain restricted types of bullion products can pledge them to you as collateral for margin capital which they can then use to trade in other asset classes you offer.

This ability to pledge physical precious metals is actioned through the exchange's electronic Vault Warrants (eVW). The eVWs can only be currently raised against:
