Frequently asked questions

How do Karachi-based investors ship gold to LCORE's Abu Dhabi vault?
Gold ships from Karachi to Abu Dhabi International Airport's pre-customs zone via insured air freight. LCORE coordinates logistics with approved carriers. Metal is received airside, assayed, weighed, and placed in allocated segregated storage. The pre-customs location means zero UAE customs clearance required.
Is LCORE's vault accessible to Karachi investors for inspection?
Yes. Depositors from Karachi can arrange physical inspection with advance notice. Withdrawal is available within 48-72 hours. The pre-customs airport location allows gold to be loaded directly onto outbound flights without clearing UAE customs.
What makes Abu Dhabi a better vault location than Karachi for institutional gold?
Abu Dhabi offers a unique combination: ADGM English Common Law jurisdiction, zero tax on investment gold, Lloyd's $250M insurance, pre-customs airport location for frictionless cross-border movement, and political neutrality. For Karachi-based investors, this provides jurisdiction diversification with institutional-grade infrastructure.
