Frankfurt hosts Bundesbank's 1,700-tonne reserve vault and major commercial gold storage, but German investors face wealth and CGT considerations. LCORE Abu Dhabi provides a zero-tax, internationally insured offshore alternative under ADGM English Common Law.
Request ConsultationFrankfurt is an important gold market hub. Abu Dhabi (ADGM) adds a complementary position: neutral UAE jurisdiction outside Western sanctions, English Common Law enforcement, pre-customs vault with zero import/export duty, and access to LCORE's DVP settlement infrastructure and Storage Programme.
Gold is moved from Frankfurt to Abu Dhabi via direct air connection (where available) or standard bullion logistics (Brinks, Malca-Amit). LCORE issues a Warehouse Receipt on arrival. Your gold is allocated, insured, and governed by English Law from day one.
UAE has not joined the Western sanctions regime. FATF-clean since February 2024. Your gold in Abu Dhabi is outside the reach of EU/UK/US asset freeze orders.
No capital gains tax. No wealth tax. No VAT on investment-grade gold. No import duty in pre-customs zone. The most tax-efficient gold storage jurisdiction in the world.
LCORE provides DVP commodity settlement infrastructure from its Abu Dhabi vault -- enabling Frankfurt-based trading houses to settle transactions without USD clearing.
