Client Testimonials

"These guys work, interpret their job and deliver service in a way that's just on another LEVEL: Ultra-quick reaction times (sometimes within minutes), super-easy and fast onboarding, super competent, helpful and can-do-oriented staff, once you're known/trusted: Transactions sometimes are even done based on handshake quality....compared to the way any insurance, bank or brokerage treats their (even high net worth) customers this day and age, these guys almost seem having fallen out of time (in the best sense imaginable). As a result SWP "produce" way more than being just a mere pm dealership and storage location. Far beyond pm they offer their customers an asset money can't buy: PIECE OF MIND. I can not recommend them highly enough."

"Having a stash of precious metals in a safe place is about the single smartest thing you can do to protect your family’s future. That’s why when I discovered SWP, my search for a competent custodian for my family’s wealth ended. Mark Yaxley and his whole team are the very definition of professional. Not only is it easy to do business with SWP, but the more I examine the dangers facing anyone with accumulated wealth, the more pleased I am I took steps to set up my account with SWP. I urge everyone who cares about their financial freedom to do the same. SWP are the single best and most trustworthy option in the Western hemisphere – and maybe even the world."

"Many thanks for your speedy and professional service. You have made bullion buying not just easy, but affordable compared to US options. Very much appreciated."

"My experience with SWP has been nothing short of outstanding. Best customer service I've ever experienced, anywhere, in any area of my life. I plan on being a customer for life."

“SWP offers excellent service. I opened an account to store metals in. The account opening was simple and straightforward and getting funds there was easy as well after the account was opened. The online interface is good as well. I plan to keep my metals stored there for many years to come.”

"I was able to visit SWP’s Cayman Islands precious metals storage facility while on a family vacation in July 2019. The vault is located inside of a private security building and is state of the art. Operations Manager Mark Yaxley was very accommodating and made it easy for me to open an account and deposit precious metals that I already owned. SWP also has business relationships with reputable North American bullion dealers and I was able to open a 2nd storage account at their vault through Sprott Money. I can now purchase precious metals with a click of a mouse and have them stored on Grand Cayman Island."

"When I visited SWP’s Cayman Islands facility, I was very impressed. Their vault rivals secured storage at a sovereign mint. Their facility is state of the art with every system having a critical backup, such as, three sources of power; primary solar, secondary battery, tertiary generator. Their protocol is thorough with emphasis on fully allocated and segregated storage. As a long-term resident of the Cayman Islands, I now have peace of mind knowing my physical metals are secured in a best-in-class depository. For me, SWP is the obvious choice.”

“SWP and Operations Manager Mark Yaxley specifically, have surpassed my expectations. As one of SWP’s first retail customers, I needed to see the vault for myself, so my wife and I traveled down to Grand Cayman along with our deposit. Mark picked us up at the local port, allowed us to see the operation at SWP’s facility, and showed us around the island before dropping us back at the port to continue on with our cruise. I highly recommend SWP for storing your precious metals."

Industry Endorsements

“I get emails every day asking me where the best places are to buy and store physical gold. I’m always happy to recommend a business that I personally use, and that’s SWP, an excellent precious metals business here in the Cayman Islands. SWP is cost-efficient, convenient, and helps make wealth preservation easier in a world where that is becoming increasingly difficult.”

"You should have physical gold in storage in an offshore account. SWP, a precious metals storage company in the Cayman Islands, offers a convenient low-cost way to do that. There are others, but very few institutions will touch American accounts anymore, because of US regulations and reporting."

"As a gold analyst for many years, I’ve waited a long time for a bullion storage facility that met all the requirements I wanted, and I found it in Strategic Wealth Preservation. A state-of-the-art depository, complete online access, fully allocated storage, and a highly reputable international location. Perhaps best of all, I don’t have to travel halfway around the world if I want to access my bullion in person—it’s right here in North America."

“The Cayman Islands, to my mind, provides the greatest economic freedom and opportunities to investors of any country in the Western Hemisphere. Accordingly, Cayman’s premier precious metals storage facility, SWP, has become the Western Hemisphere’s best choice for wealth storage.”

“When you ponder the implications of Cyprus, Greece, Puerto Rico and the Chinese stock market you may want to consider keeping your precious metals offshore in someplace like the insured vaults of Strategic Wealth Preservation in Grand Cayman. The alternative is too dreadful to think about when governments start getting greedy.”

“As the top international banking centre and a world leader in structured finance, the Cayman Islands Government welcomes new investment from overseas businesses and individuals wishing to diversify and internationalize their assets. We are pleased to welcome Strategic Wealth Preservation Ltd. (SWP) as an independent, world-class precious metals storage facility that offers a trusted option for those wishing to purchase or store precious metals in the safe and investor friendly offshore jurisdiction of the Cayman Islands.”
