The Ainslie Group
The Evolution of Ainslie Group
The Ainslie Group’s story began with the founding of Ainslie Bullion in 1974, a company that has since become a cornerstone of the Australian precious metals market. With a legacy that spans over five decades, we have expanded our reach and deepened our expertise to include a suite of services that enhance our traditional bullion business. Ainslie Bullion is Australia’s second-largest independent bullion dealer and Perth Mint’s Primary Distributor. This has been complemented by our strategic expansions—Ainslie Crypto, The Gold & Silver Standard, Reserve Vault, The Melbourne Vault, and now Ainslie Wealth —broadening our scope into the realms of digital and tokenised assets, secure storage solutions, and a wealth management fund.
Research-Driven, Client-Focussed
Our history is marked by a commitment to providing clients with not only precious metals and crypto assets but also with knowledge and understanding of the broader economic drivers that shape their value. We've paired our wide selection of Ainslie Bullion and world mint precious metal products with a long-standing tradition of market research and macroeconomic reporting via our daily news, regular ‘Ainslie Insights’ expert interviews, and our deep-dive ‘Ainslie Research’ presentations. This breadth of research and analysis ensures our clients benefit from our comprehensive investment framework and industry network.
