Our services
From physical bullion trading and logistics to risk management and financing — built to be the single trusted partner our B2B clients need at every step.
Core service
Sigma provides direct access to investment-grade bullion, traded with care, precision, and discretion. We support clients across a range of standard bar sizes, ensuring consistent quality and reliable execution.
Every transaction is handled to high standards, with clear documentation, secure processes, and a traceable origin for every bar — giving clients confidence at every stage.
Core service
Price volatility in the precious metals market can erode margins and create significant financial exposure. Sigma designs bespoke trading and risk management solutions tailored to each client's specific exposure profile.
Our hedging capabilities allow clients to lock in favourable prices, manage forward exposure, and protect operating margins — all executed through our experienced dealing desk with real-time market access.
Core service
Consignment and financing facilities that allow clients to hold physical bullion without tying up their own capital. The metal remains Sigma's property until the client completes the financial transaction, giving dealers and manufacturers the flexibility to sell product before settling the purchase price.
Core service
Secure movement of high-value physical metal is one of the most operationally demanding aspects of the precious metals trade. Sigma manages the full logistics chain, partnering with globally recognised specialist carriers. Each shipment is fully insured, documented, and tracked.
Specialist services
Refining
Facilitated refining through a network of DMCC-accredited partner refineries. Whether upgrading scrap and doré or requiring specific bar brands, we coordinate the refining process and manage the refinery relationship on your behalf.
Assaying
Assaying is performed by a panel of internationally recognised, accredited assayers in line with prevailing industry and LBMA-aligned standards. Results are formally certified and circulated to all relevant counterparties.
For non-standard material and mixed lots, assaying functions as a key control point, establishing verified fineness and composition as the basis for commercial settlement.
Location swaps
Resolve geographic mismatches efficiently. Deliver metal locally in Dubai and receive credit for equivalent metal at international locations — including key financial centres and vaulting hubs in Europe, Asia, and the Americas. Eliminates costly cross-border shipments.
Secure storage
Allocated storage through accredited, insured facilities. Your metal is held in your name, identifiable, and segregated from other depositors — you retain legal ownership at all times. Regular, transparent reporting on your holdings with flexible release on agreed notice.
We are with our clients at every stage, from initial transaction structuring through to final settlement and delivery, ensuring that the service they receive reflects their specific requirements and not a generic template.
“No two clients have identical needs. Sigma does not offer off-the-shelf packages — our team sits down with each client to understand their business, their risk appetite, and their operational constraints before designing a tailored service structure.”
