Questions about pricing? Your KEPM consultant can walk you through current schedules.
1
The price you pay for a product is the wholesale price plus KEPM's standard premium of eight percent (8%). The wholesale price is the price at which KEPM acquires the product from its suppliers. KEPM charges current KEPM clients no commission (0%) when they sell to KEPM. All prices are shown in U.S. dollars, are based on live market pricing, and are subject to change until your order is fulfilled. The value of your metals at any future sale will depend on market prices at that time, which KEPM cannot predict or guarantee.

KEPM's standard 8% premium and 0% client liquidation commission describe KEPM's charges only. Third parties involved in your transaction charge their own fees, which are set by those parties, are subject to change by them, and are not paid to KEPM, including: (a) for IRA accounts, custodial fees charged by Strata Trust Company, including account establishment, annual administration, transaction, transfer, and account-closing fees, per Strata's published fee schedule (stratatrust.com/resource-center/strata-fees), which includes a separate annual precious-metals storage fee billed by Strata; (b) for metal held in direct (non-IRA) storage, storage fees charged by the Texas Precious Metals Depository at KEPM's negotiated client rate: an annual percentage of the marked-to-market value of your holdings on a tiered schedule, billed monthly and subject to a minimum monthly charge, as set out at kepm.com/storage/rates; (c) if you store metals at home and later sell to KEPM, the cost of insured shipment of your metals to the depository, which you bear; and (d) any fees your own bank charges for wires or other payment methods. Current third-party fee schedules are available from the applicable provider or from your KEPM consultant on request.
