Auctus Metal Portfolios

What Auctus Metal Portfolios does

Auctus Metal Portfolios Pte. Ltd. is a Singapore-based private advisory firm that offers actively managed physical precious metals portfolios to sophisticated and accredited investors. The company manages segregated, fully allocated and client-titled holdings across five metals — gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium — custodied at Le Freeport Singapore via Malca-Amit, insured by Lloyd's of London and audited annually by Bureau Veritas. Investment decisions are driven by the proprietary Provectus algorithm, which ingests 55 live macro and supply-demand variables to rotate metal weightings and is independently backtested by BDO Global across more than 50 years of daily metals data.

The firm operates two mandates on the same five-metal universe and custody chain: Provectus Model 1 (Balanced Strategy), which prioritises gold and silver with measured drawdowns, and Provectus Model 2 (High Growth Strategy), which takes heavier tactical positions in platinum-group metals and accepts wider drawdowns in pursuit of higher long-run returns. Minimum engagement is SGD 250,000. Monetisation comes from tiered AUM management fees (1.00%-1.40% per annum, charged quarterly), a 5% performance fee on annual returns exceeding a 20% hurdle, and quarterly vaulting/storage charges that vary by metal type and portfolio size. Reported net CAGRs since January 2016 are 25.96% (Balanced) and 31.42% (High Growth), with the High Growth Strategy up +1,663% net of fees and storage versus +292% for physical gold over the same period.

Distribution is a direct-advisory, enterprise-style sales motion anchored at 300 Beach Road #25-02, Singapore, with discovery calls, full KYC onboarding and minimums that signal institutional and family-office targeting. Top-of-funnel demand is generated through owned media (blog, YouTube channel, 2026 Investor Kit PDF), earned media (Bloomberg Television, Real Vision Finance), and channel partner referrals including Gold Stackers Australia, GBA Group, Conduit Group and Opus Chartered Investment. The firm is owned by four founding partners (David J Mitchell, Scott MacRae, Matthew Colahan and Justin Khoo), with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds or external equity holders, and reports approximately US$220 million in assets under advisory.

Core offering

Auctus Metal Portfolios is a Singapore-based investment advisory that actively manages segregated, client-titled physical precious metals portfolios across five metals (gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium) vaulted at Le Freeport Singapore. The firm offers two mandates — the Balanced Strategy (Provectus Model 1) and the High Growth Strategy (Provectus Model 2) — with a minimum engagement of SGD 250,000 per account. Portfolio rebalancing decisions are driven by the proprietary Provectus algorithm, which processes 55 macro and supply-demand variables and has been independently backtested by BDO Global across more than 50 years of daily metals data.

Product overview

Auctus Metal Portfolios is a single, unified advisory service for managing physical precious metals portfolios. The company offers two strategy mandates—Balanced Strategy (Provectus Model 1) and High Growth Strategy (Provectus Model 2)—that share the same five-metal universe (gold, silver, platinum, palladium, rhodium), the same custody and vaulting chain, and the same reporting infrastructure. Both mandates are powered by the proprietary Provectus algorithm, which proposes rebalancing decisions based on 55 macro and supply-demand variables. The two strategies differ in how aggressively they rotate across metals: Balanced favors liquid metals (gold and silver) with smaller tactical positions in platinum-group metals, while High Growth takes heavier cyclical-metal allocations for higher long-run upside. All client metal is held in segregated, allocated, client-titled vault bays at Le Freeport Singapore, insured by Lloyd's of London and independently audited by Bureau Veritas.

Products and services

• Balanced Strategy (Provectus Model 1) The conservative of the two Provectus mandates managed by Auctus Metal Portfolios, offering liquidity-weighted exposure across gold, silver, platinum, palladium and rhodium. Designed for measured drawdowns and durable compounding through the long metals cycle, with a minimum engagement of SGD 250,000.
• High Growth Strategy (Provectus Model 2) The aggressive Provectus mandate with the same five-metal universe as the Balanced Strategy but more aggressive rotation. Takes heavier tactical allocations into platinum-group metals when the Provectus signal identifies dislocations, accepting wider drawdowns in exchange for higher long-run returns. Minimum engagement SGD 250,000.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• APMEX: APMEX is one of the largest US precious-metals retailers offering gold, silver, platinum, and palladium products with vaulting and IRA services. While primarily retail, its multi-metal offering and storage capabilities overlap with Auctus's five-metal, segregated-custody positioning for HNW collectors and allocators.
• SPDR Gold Shares / World Gold Council: SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) is the largest gold-backed ETF, and the World Gold Council is the industry's market-development body. Together they represent the dominant passive, low-fee alternative to active physical management, defining the competitive ceiling on fees and the benchmark for HNW precious-metals exposure.
• Perth Mint: Perth Mint is a government-backed precious-metals authority offering allocated precious-metals storage and investment programs (including the Perth Mint Gold Program). It serves HNW and institutional clients globally with allocated physical gold/silver, competing with Auctus on trust, scale, and sovereign-grade custody.

Emerging players

• Kinesis Money: Kinesis issues digital currencies backed by physical gold and silver held in allocated vaults, with yield paid to holders from transaction fees. It competes for the same digitally minded precious-metals investors Auctus targets, but offers tokenized, liquid exposure rather than discretionary advisory management.
• Glint: Glint allows users to buy, hold, and spend gold as a payment instrument via app and card, backed by allocated physical bullion. It overlaps with Auctus on physical precious-metals exposure for sophisticated investors but emphasizes payments and liquidity over active multi-metal rotation.

Direct peers

• Goldmoney: Goldmoney is a precious-metals platform offering physical buying, selling, vaulting, and wealth-management services across multiple metals with segregated storage. It targets the same HNW/sophisticated-investor segment as Auctus with a comparable custody-and-trading proposition and broader jurisdictional footprint.
• BullionVault: BullionVault is the largest online physical gold, silver, and platinum marketplace with allocated vaulting across multiple jurisdictions. It targets retail and HNW investors seeking direct physical ownership with competitive fees, overlapping significantly with Auctus on custody, vaulting, and metal-selection dimensions.
• Lear Capital: Lear Capital is a US precious-metals advisory firm offering gold, silver, and PGM products with storage and IRA services to retail and HNW clients. It competes with Auctus on the educational, consultative precious-metals advisory motion and overlapping gold/PGM product set, though with less emphasis on algorithmic rotation.
• Sprott Asset Management / Sprott Physical Bullion Trust: Sprott is one of the largest dedicated precious-metals investment managers globally, operating physical bullion trusts and actively managed commodity funds. Like Auctus, Sprott focuses on physical precious-metals exposure for sophisticated investors with full allocation and independent custody, making it the closest direct competitor by strategy and audience.
• Monetary Metals: Monetary Metals operates a gold yield and investment platform where users can earn interest paid in physical gold, with allocated storage. Like Auctus, it serves investors seeking actively managed, physically backed precious-metals exposure and competes for the same yield-and-ownership-oriented HNW audience.
