Valcambi
Fine gold in the window of its card.
Balerna in Ticino
Where Switzerland borders Italy
The name combines Valori and Cambi, the Italian words for values and exchange. The company was founded in 1961 in Chiasso, the town on the border with Italy. In 1967 it moved its headquarters to Balerna, about two kilometres away.
Its neighbours began in Chiasso, too. Today, three large gold refineries lie in the Mendrisiotto within 4.5 kilometres as the crow flies: Valcambi in Balerna, MKS PAMP in Castel San Pietro and Argor-Heraeus in Mendrisio.
In 2024, three out of four Valcambi employees commuted across the border from Italy.

From fire to fine gold
In Balerna, swissinfo watched molten gold flow straight from the crucible into the moulds for the 400-ounce standard bar, the large bar of the London gold market.
The bar states in thousandths how pure its gold is. For its large bars, the LBMA requires at least 995.0 thousandths. These bars bear 999,9, known in the gold trade as “four nines”.
0.1 milligrams
That is the most anything else may make up in one gram of gold with a fineness of 999.9. All the rest is gold.
Minted
A mark like an oath

Weight, fineness and the assayer-melter’s mark
Valcambi punches its minted bars out of specially rolled metal sheets. In Balerna, swissinfo saw the one-gram bars moving along the conveyor belt to quality control.
They also bear the serial number on the front and valcambi suisse on the back.
ESSAYEUR FONDEUR is French for assayer and melter. Only those permitted both to melt and to assay may use this combined mark, and Valcambi applies it itself as a licensed assayer-melter. At Valcambi, they call it an oath engraved in the metal.
The certificate
One bar, one card, one number
AA 067779
The orange card is the assay certificate. On its back are the serial number at the top and ASSAY CERTIFICATE with the fineness and weight at the bottom.
The number on the card is the same as the one on the bar.
Every bar bears the mark of those who made it.
From Balerna, into your hand.

Why Invest in Gold?
Gold has been a proven store of value for over 6,000 years and has never lost its value. It offers protection against loss of purchasing power and is the oldest currency in the world. Gold is referred to as "God's money" and is VAT-free. It has been shining for millennia and will never lose its shine. Gold is recognized worldwide as a currency and is a scarce good with limited supply, which leads to long-term value stability.
Advantages of the 100g Gold Bar Valcambi
- Stability: Gold offers protection against political and economic crises and has a low correlation to other asset classes such as stocks and bonds.
- Liquidity: Gold has high liquidity and can easily be converted into cash.
- Store of value: Gold serves as a store of value when confidence in fiat money fluctuates or declines.
- Flexibility: The convertibility of gold into fiat money offers a certain degree of flexibility, as it can be converted into cash when needed.

Gold as Inflation and Crisis Protection
Gold is a proven inflation hedge and offers protection against currency risks. Since fiat money is printed and controlled by central banks, the availability and supply of gold are limited, which contributes to the stability of its value. While fiat money is prone to inflation, gold retains its value or even increases in value as inflation rises. Gold is held worldwide as a reserve currency by central banks to support the stability of the financial system.
In times of currency instability and economic uncertainty, gold offers a safe haven. It can be used as a medium of exchange and offers high flexibility and liquidity. Gold is durable and retains its physical properties over time. The largest gold holders in the world are the central banks, which shows that even they no longer trust their own product, fiat money.
Gold can serve as long-term retirement provision and pass wealth from generation to generation. It offers protection against political and economic crises and is a reliable form of crisis protection. Gold is the big brother of little silver and offers an excellent opportunity for portfolio diversification.
