BMG Group Inc. is an associate member of The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) and only purchases ‘Good Delivery’ bars for its programs, ensuring all precious metals are SRI.

The LBMA Good Delivery List is now widely recognized as representing the de facto standard for the quality of gold and silver bars, in large part thanks to the stringent criteria for assaying standards and bar quality that an applicant must satisfy in order to be listed. The assaying capabilities of refiners on the Good Delivery List are periodically checked under the LBMA’s Proactive Monitoring program.

Investors can read the LBMA “Responsible Gold Guidance” investment guidelines.

The London Bullion Market Association (LBMA) is the international trade association that represents the market for gold and silver bullion, which is centred in London, England but has a global client base, including the majority of the central banks that hold gold, private sector investors, mining companies, producers, refiners and fabricators. The current membership stands at 145 member companies across more than 20 countries around the world

The LBMA has set up a Responsible Gold Guidance for Good Delivery Refiners in order to combat systemic or wide-spread abuses of human rights, to avoid contributing to conflict, to comply with high standards of anti-money laundering, and to combat terrorist financing practices. This Guidance formalizes and consolidates existing high standards of due diligence among all LBMA Good Delivery Refiners.

Gold is often misunderstood. Many advisors and media sources claim it’s a poor investment because it doesn’t pay interest or dividends, or they view it as too volatile. But that misses the bigger picture—gold isn’t just an investment. Gold is money.

Holding physical gold bullion is not the same as investing in stocks or bonds. Like storing cash in a vault, storing gold doesn’t generate income—but it also carries no counterparty risk. The key difference is that gold tends to hold or even increase its purchasing power over time, while paper currencies lose value due to inflation and government deficit spending.

Unlike fiat money, gold can’t be printed or devalued. It’s a stable store of value, especially during times of economic uncertainty. In fact, many banks—particularly central banks—treat gold as a form of currency, not just a commodity. That’s why it’s traded as a currency in global markets.

Gold is money, not a commodity as many investors and advisors incorrectly view it. Gold trades on the currency desks of the major banks and brokerage houses, not the commodity desks. It is a wealth-protecting asset, not a wealth-accumulating asset. We buy and hold gold bullion to preserve wealth. It is important to note that, while we may speculate in gold stocks, exchange-traded funds, futures and options to increase wealth, it is gold bullion ownership that best serves the purpose of wealth protection.

Gold is often called “honest money” because it holds its value and provides a reliable benchmark for pricing goods and services. Unlike paper money or digital currencies, gold has intrinsic worth—it’s valuable in and of itself.

Fiat currencies, on the other hand, have no inherent value. They rely entirely on trust and can lose purchasing power when too much is printed. Gold can’t be created out of thin air, which is why its value remains stable over time.

To be considered true money, something must be portable, divisible, rare, durable, and able to store value. Gold and silver meet all these criteria—and they’ve held their value for thousands of years. Paper currencies may come and go, but precious metals endure.

Gold, silver, and platinum don’t depend on banks, governments, or digital systems. They’re not subject to default or inflation in the same way fiat money is. That’s why they’re often seen as the ultimate protection—and the final settlement—when it comes to wealth.
