Tailored Financial Solutions

Leverage your physical gold holdings to access rapid, private capital.

Neville Montagu offers a specialised direct-lending facility that allows sophisticated investors, expatriates, and corporations to unlock capital from their existing gold holdings without selling their long-term strategic assets.

Unlock Liquidity, when you need it.

Why Borrow Against Your Gold?

Access liquidity without surrendering your inflation hedge. Our Gold Collateral Loans allow you to bypass the invasive, slow underwriting of traditional banks.

Selling physical gold to raise cash frequently triggers unwanted capital gains taxes and strips your portfolio of its foundational safe-haven asset. By leveraging your gold through our private facility, you retain full ownership and future upside potential while securing the fiat liquidity you need today.

  • No Credit Checks or Income Verification: Decisions are based entirely on the live market value of your physical gold. Your gold is your credit.

  • Ultimate Flexibility: Lending terms range from 3 to 60 months. We charge absolutely zero pre-payment penalties, allowing you to settle your loan early when your liquidity is restored.

  • Absolute Privacy & Security: Your collateral is fully insured, authenticated, and securely stored in Tier-1 vaulting facilities in London, Zurich, or equivalent global hubs.

Key Facts: Gold Loans

What is this product?

Neville Montagu enables sophisticated investors to unlock capital from their existing bullion holdings while maintaining long-term exposure to precious metals.

Through our associated companies and partners, clients can obtain gold loans, also known as Lombard Loans and collateral loans.

This service is designed for international high-net-worth individuals, professional investors, family offices, trusts, and corporations seeking flexible, asset-backed financing solutions.

Unlike selling your Gold, which may crystallise tax obligations or compromise long-term strategy, our facility enables you to access short- or medium-term finance while your Gold Bullion remains securely stored, fully allocated, and professionally insured.

Global Access

This facility is available to clients in most jurisdictions, subject to local laws and international compliance checks.

Minimum / Maximum Loan

  • Minimum loan: £50,000

  • Maximum Loan-to-Value (LTV): 75% of bullion value (40% Silver).

  • LTVs are based on internationally recognised spot prices and reviewed throughout the Gold Loan term.

Collateral Requirements

  • Investment-grade gold or silver (bars only). Silver must be purchased through our store; we do not accept transferred silver bars.

  • Gold Bullion must be either purchased through our store or transferred to one of our vaults for verification and storage

  • You retain ownership, but the metals are immobilised during the loan

  • Collateral is stored in approved vaults meeting international standards for security, insurance, and auditing. We use a number of locations worldwide.

Interest and Fees

Rates are fixed at the time of your agreement. Additional fees may apply for vaulting, authentication, or arrangement.   

Key Risks

  • If Gold prices fall, you may receive a margin call requiring additional collateral or partial repayment.

  • Failure to meet margin calls or repay the Gold loan may result in the sale of your metals.

  • You may receive less from a forced sale if markets are volatile.

Repayment

Repay the loan in full by the agreed maturity date. Once repaid, your metals are released from lien and may be withdrawn or stored.

Neville Montagu offers a specialised liquidity facility strictly on a private, wholesale basis. We do not provide consumer loans, retail credit, or regulated lending. This facility is offered only to clients who qualify as Professional Investors or High-Net-Worth Entities under applicable local regulations.

  • Market Volatility: The value of gold may go down as well as up. LTVs are reviewed throughout the facility term.

  • Margin Calls: If falling metal prices cause your LTV to exceed our margin threshold (typically 85%), you will receive a margin call requiring you to deposit additional collateral, make a partial cash repayment, or authorize the liquidation of a portion of your metals to right-size the loan.

  • Forced Liquidation: Failure to meet a margin call or repay the loan at maturity may result in the forced sale of your metals. You may receive less from a forced sale if markets are highly volatile.

  • Unregulated Product: This product is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK or by any retail financial regulator internationally.

  • Suitability: Borrowing against precious metals is a sophisticated strategy and may not be suitable for all investors. We strongly encourage all clients to seek professional independent financial and tax advice before proceeding.
