A percentage as agreed between broker and member or applicant. Online applications without a broker will be charged a minimum of 0.5% commission payable to RBK Asset Management for maintaining the website.

A high-value courier (RAM) charge applies for the delivery of gold, silver or platinum to any place in RSA or globally. The charge is currently around R250 plus 0.4% insurance. If the value were to exceed R150 000 there would be an additional charge for an armoured vehicle. Non-RSA residents should contact us for information regarding deliveries offshore.
Should you wish to collect at our dispatch point in Pretoria or Johannesburg, a nominal fee of 0.15% will be charged.
Ongoing Fees
The underlying pools will contribute pro-rata (on value) to the overall cost of insurance, safekeeping and administration fees. Pools will not subsidise each other. Fees are generally around 1% p.a. for the Gold pool and 0.8% p.a. for the Silver and Platinum pools. The asset manager will charge a performance fee based on the performance in the trading pool, generally up to 1/5 of nett profits made. The unit price of a pool will reflect the fees deducted from that pool.
