Do I actually own physical gold purchased through Minted?/ Is my gold purchased through Minted part of a trust/fund?

Through Minted, you have complete ownership of your gold (and other precious metals, which will be available soon!). Minted gold is not subject to a trust deed and is not liable to anyone. It is, simply put, your outright property from the moment you buy it until the moment you may decide to sell.

You have engaged Minted as a custodian of your gold assets by accepting the Minted Terms & Conditions. Through vault operators, Minted has only physical custody of your gold. Minted is in charge of administration and record keeping, which is accomplished through the Minted website/app.
