Platinum Bars

Platinum bars give direct exposure to platinum metal in a compact format. They suit buyers who understand the smaller market and are comfortable with VAT and resale considerations.

Recognised platinum bars are saleable, but they are less liquid than popular gold products. Stick to known refiners and clear packaging to help resale.

Platinum bars are generally VATable in the UK. That means your holding period and expected resale route matter more than with VAT-free investment gold.

Platinum premiums can be less predictable because the market is smaller and availability varies. Compare the delivered price against spot and against equivalent gold products.
