ESTABLISHED 1987.
Three generations of accumulators have trusted us to hold their rocks. We continue to do so.
CORPORATE HISTORY▌
The firm was founded in 1987 on a thesis that remains unchanged: every other asset class carries counterparty risk, settlement risk, regulatory risk, or inflationary risk. Rocks carry none of these. Rocks carry only rocks.
In the intervening decades, we have observed equities rise and fall, currencies reset, and entire derivative markets wind down. Our holdings, by contrast, have remained in place. This is not presented as a performance claim. It is presented as an observation.
We do not publish returns. We do not engage with media. Our client roster is not disclosed. Our vault is not open to the public, to clients, or to our own employees except by appointment. The business is simple and is meant to stay that way.
