About
Assets with a record of ownership.
We introduce private buyers to whisky casks and physical precious metals, held in their own name.
Maltaro was founded on a simple principle: that real, physical assets — held with clear ownership and stored securely — offer something that traditional financial products cannot.
We help clients explore tangible assets with established global markets, documented ownership, and the information needed to understand an acquisition before proceeding.
We also introduce clients to a specialist in international property.
What you can expect
Four things we set out before you decide.
Ownership in your name.
Casks are held in a bonded warehouse with a certificate of ownership and delivery order issued to you. Metals are delivered directly to you.
How ownership worksThe exit explained up front.
Private sale, auction or bottling under your own label — we set out what each route involves and costs before you buy, not after.
See the three routesRisk stated plainly.
Values can fall as well as rise. Casks are not bank deposits and have no FSCS protection. Every cost is written down before you decide.
