This page outlines the legal framework, confidentiality principles, and regulatory status of British Gold Trust in accordance with UK trust law.
Legal Nature of British Gold Trust
British Gold Trust is governed under the laws of England and Wales and operates as a private fiduciary entity, not a commercial company. Its mission is to securely manage physical gold reserves for the benefit of a diverse group of beneficiaries – from gold mining companies with verified resources to individual contributors and institutional participants seeking long-term value preservation.
Confidentiality of Beneficiaries and Trustees
In compliance with UK Trust Law and fiduciary principles, British Gold Trust does not publicly disclose information about its beneficiaries, or internal financial structure. This is in full accordance with its legal obligations and the private nature of the Trust.
All operations are conducted in strict adherence to the principles of trust law, including the duty of confidentiality, prudent asset management, and transparency toward beneficiaries and regulators where applicable.
Regulatory Position
British Gold Trust is not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), as it does not engage in regulated investment activities or provide services to the public. Its gold-backed internal unit of account is not a public financial instrument, cryptocurrency, or tokenized security. It functions solely within the closed ecosystem created for Trust members and verified counterparties.
