New World Precious Metals

What New World Precious Metals does

New World Precious Metals (NWPM) is a Calgary-based private precious-metals brokerage and dealer founded in 2016, serving individual and corporate investors across Canada, the United States, and international markets. The firm operates as an approved brokerage/dealer for Precious Metals International (PMI), its wholesale supply partner, and extends its distribution through partnerships with Questrade (for Canadian RRSP and TFSA registered accounts) and Gold Star Trust (for US IRA and 401K retirement accounts). Its product surface spans wholesale international accounts, retail bullion delivery, segregated bullion storage, corporate treasury accounts, educational seminars (GET REAL), financing lines secured against client metal holdings, and a PMI-branded client login portal. The team of 11 named professionals includes dedicated sales, service, and international coverage functions.

The core technology stack is partner-mediated rather than proprietary: NWPM does not operate its own custody, brokerage, or trust infrastructure, instead routing registered-account flows through Questrade and Gold Star Trust and sourcing physical metal through PMI. There is no indication of proprietary trading systems, algorithmic execution, or alternative data assets — the platform is fundamentally a customer-acquisition, advisory, and account-management layer on top of institutional rails.

Revenue is generated across three lines: (1) transactional brokerage commissions capped at 5% on purchases and 3% on sales, (2) recurring storage and insurance fees on custodied bullion, and (3) interest income from financing services extended against client precious-metals holdings. Customer segments include Canadian retail investors in registered accounts, US retirement-account holders, international wholesale clients, and corporate treasury accounts — with no disclosed enterprise anchor customers and pricing structured for high-volume / low-to-mid-ticket retail flow rather than a few large institutional relationships.
