What AuHandel is
- A brokerage and execution counterparty in the physical gold market, acting as broker or principal depending on the transaction
- Compliance-led: risk-based onboarding, documented due diligence, and contract-led settlement in every relationship
- Independent in our operating model — not dependent on any single buyer, supplier, or service provider
What AuHandel is not
- Not a refiner or miner — we do not refine gold, operate mining assets, or claim ownership of supply
- Not a retail business — we do not sell bullion to private individuals and do not publish prices
- Not a price-comparison or quotation service — indicative discussions occur only within onboarding and contract processes
Discipline over scale
AuHandel maintains market access across multiple counterparties and settlement arrangements, and structures each transaction on its own merits. We do not pre-commit to volumes, publish standing terms, or operate around any single relationship. This independence supports objective risk decisions — including the ability to decline or disengage where due diligence expectations are not met.
Policy-led by design
AuHandel’s compliance and responsible sourcing policies are approved by senior management of AU HANDEL LTD prior to publication and reviewed at least annually — and whenever the legal, regulatory, or risk context changes materially. A designated Compliance Lead / Responsible Sourcing Officer is responsible for implementation, training, and escalation.
