Industrial metals direct from the supplier
An understanding of global supply chains is almost essential for modern portfolio diversification. Our standard of living as well as social developments depend crucially on a secure supply of raw materials. Technology metals, rare earths and platinum group metals are essential building blocks for climate-friendly, high-performance mobility concepts, internet and communication technologies, high-tech applications and energy generation.
As a TRADIUM GmbH customer, you become an important link in international supply chains. You own raw materials that TRADIUM has purchased from producers worldwide. The coveted metals can then be sold on to the processing industry.
Strategic importance - critical availability
The majority of industrial metals in our range of physical assets are categorised as strategic and critical by the EU. They are important strategic transformations in the green energy, digitalisation, defence and space sectors. However, supply bottlenecks are feared due to geological, economic or political circumstances - the supply situation is therefore regarded as Critical.
While demand and interest from industry, business and politics are constantly increasing, the availability of these raw materials is limited. This makes them exciting physical assets and an intelligent addition to your portfolio.

Here you will find answers to the most important questions about buying industrial metals as a physical asset!
Which commodities are suitable as physical assets?
You can currently acquire the following metals as physical assets:
- Technology metalsGallium, germanium, hafnium, indium and rhenium
- Rare earths: Dysprosium, neodymium, praseodymium and terbium
- Precious metals: Gold, iridium, osmium, palladium, platinum, rhodium, ruthenium and silver
Most of these raw materials are urgently needed for current growth markets, but are not readily available. This makes them exciting physical assets that also have a permanent material value.
Where can I track price developments?
Specific statements on the current value of your commodities can only be made as part of a buyback offer. These metals are not traded on the stock exchange, so there are no public trading centres as there are for shares and funds. The actual value of the tangible asset is only known at the time of sale, when it is clear what the current market situation is.
You have 2 options for viewing price trends:
- Customers who store their tangible assets at METLOCK GmbH receive a quarterly warehouse logistics cost statement, which serves as an indicator of value development.
- Our website provides an overview of the percentage performance of our Real asset portfolios.
