Gold-silver ratio

How can this be used?

You switch gold into silver at a high ratio. If the ratio falls, you can get more gold back for the same amount of silver.

You start with100 g gold
After the switch8,000 g silver
After switching back125.00 g gold+ 25.00 %

Ratio high: gold → silver

Switch gold into silver at ratio 80

For 100 g of gold you receive 8,000 g of silver.

Low: silver → gold

The gold-silver ratio falls to 64

100 g of gold now cost 6,400 g of silver. You still hold 8,000 g of silver – that is 1,600 g of silver more.

FAQ

SwitchPilot

Where does the additional gold come from?

It arises from the different price movements of gold and silver. If silver gains in value compared with gold, you get more gold than before when switching back – without paying anything extra. This is not guaranteed.

What happens after the first switch?

Then you initially hold silver instead of gold. Only when your switch-back value is reached can it become gold again. This point in time is not guaranteed.

Can I start with less than 100 g of gold?

The example calculation uses 100 g so that the figures are easy to follow. The principle applies to any amount – you will find the conditions of your tariff in the customer portal.

Can I also end up with less gold using the SwitchPilot?

Yes. If the ratio develops unfavourably, switching back can result in less gold. It can also take a long time for a desired switch-back value to be reached. There is no guarantee of more gold or of a particular point in time.

Do I have to buy anything additional?

No. You only switch your existing holding.

What does the SwitchPilot cost?

The costs depend on the chosen tariff and the applicable conditions. Please check the current tariff prices, trading mark-ups and other costs in the customer portal before activating the service.

What happens if my value is not reached?

Then no switch takes place. Your holding initially stays in the respective precious metal until the defined conditions are met or you change your settings.

What does “gold-silver ratio” mean?

The gold-silver ratio shows how many grams of silver you get for one gram of gold. A gold-silver ratio of 100 means: for 1 g of gold you receive 100 g of silver

Do I have to do anything myself?

You choose your switch point once in the online depot. After that the SwitchPilot checks the gold-silver ratio regularly and switches automatically.

How often is it checked?

In the standard model once a day at 3 pm, in the Plus tariff twice a day at 11 am and 3 pm. The current contract and tariff terms apply.
