Regulatory Status
Kilo Reserve is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, commodity pool operator, or futures exchange. Interests in pooled copper storage are not securities and are not registered with the SEC or CFTC. We provide direct ownership of physical copper held in secure, third-party vaults.
Risks of Copper Investment
- Price Volatility: Copper values may rise or fall based on market supply, demand, global conditions, and currency shifts.
- Liquidity: While Kilo Reserve offers buybacks, liquidity is not guaranteed and buy/sell spreads may vary.
- Storage & Insurance: Metals are insured in custody, but coverage may not extend to all events (e.g., force majeure).
- Regulatory: Future changes in laws, tariffs, or trade policy could impact your ability to buy, store, or sell copper.
- Concentration: Investing only in copper exposes you to risks of a single commodity.
Fees and Pricing
Your transactions may include:
- Monthly storage fees, based on holdings.
- Processing fees for ACH, credit card, or wire transfers.
- Buy/sell spreads to reflect market and transaction costs.
- Delivery and shipping charges for physical redemption.
Pricing is tied to applicable national and international benchmarks plus or minus applicable spreads and fees.
Taxes
Copper sales may create taxable gains or losses. For qualifying sales, Kilo Reserve issues IRS Form 1099-B. We do not provide tax advice—please consult your tax professional.
KYC/AML Compliance
All customers must complete identity verification. Kilo Reserve follows U.S. anti-money laundering rules and may report certain transactions as required.
Eligibility
Currently, services are available only to U.S. individual investors.
Responsible Sourcing
We require suppliers to certify compliance with OECD and RMI sourcing standards. While we take steps to promote ethical sourcing, we cannot legally guarantee “conflict-free” or ESG-compliant supply chains.
