The price of gold bullions depends on the weight, hallmark and market price of gold. It is possible to store the acquired gold bullions in the vaults of Bank SNORAS by following the extra security requirements. A fixed value fee is collected for the storage. It is possible to sell gold bullions to Bank SNORAS by providing the application on bullion sale. Only the bullions, which were bought from the bank and were stored in the vaults of the bank, are bought in. Non-cash gold. It is an indirect way of investing in gold. The acquired non-cash gold is not physically transferred to the client but is accounted on the client's account. The bank buys the appropriate amount of gold and stores it in a foreign bank or in another institution providing such services. The minimum amount of non-cash gold that can be acquired in Bank SNORAS is 500 ounces troy (around 15 kilos). Larger desirable amounts of non-cash gold to be acquired are multiples of 500 ounces troy - i.e. 1000, 1500 ounces troy etc. Financial derivatives. After acquisition of gold its value varies depending on the change of the market price of gold. It is possible to insure from the undesirable decrease of gold price by applying the derivatives - gold futures and gold options. For example, after acquiring 500 ounces troy of non-cash gold and selling 5 future contracts (one future contract would be linked to 100 ounces troy of gold), a full insurance is practically made against the gold price fluctuation.
