Roxstate Presentation

An investment-grade gold bullion possesses a universal quality and purity measurement that is exemplified by the 24 karat 99.99% benchmark purity standard. The gold investment standard is also determined by weight in the form of a “gold bullion” or “kilobar” and is 1,000 grams in mass (32.15 troy ounces). These two internationally recognized and enforced investment gold classifications are the de facto gold standards within the realm of trading and investing. Transparent and ubiquitous, these classifications make it easy and understandable for an average investor when making financial commitments to this precious metal.

Gold is the most traded asset on earth. In 2016, the estimated daily turnover within the international gold market was over 4,000 metric tons; equivalent to over $240 billion. The two major centers for gold trading are the London Over-the-Counter (OTC) spot market and the New York Mercantile Exchange Futures Market (COMEX). Recent empirical research has determined that gold price discovery is jointly driven by London Over-the-Counter (OTC) spot gold market trading and COMEX gold futures trading. The "international gold price" is derived from a combination of London OTC gold prices and COMEX gold futures prices. Between them, they account for the vast majority of global gold trading volume. (The London OTC spot market represents approximately 78% of global gold market turnover while COMEX accounts for a further 8%.)

It is difficult to determine the sale price of loose diamonds on an international level. With no official OTC trading market, industry experts rely on credible monthly diamond pricing reports to compare price fluctuations of rough and polished stones. The most trusted worldwide diamond-pricing organization, based on international supply and demand, is the Rapaport Group and their weekly Diamond Report. Established in 1976, the Rapaport Group is an international network of companies that support the development of fair, transparent, efficient and competitive diamond markets.

The weekly Rapaport Diamond Report is one of the Rapaport Group’s most powerful influences. It has revolutionized the diamond trade by providing an independent benchmark, which the global diamond industry uses to standardize, compare and negotiate prices. The report compares GIA-specified purity, quality and weight classifications with the current international supply and demand for every GIA-classified stone available. The results of this research helps to establish the "baseline" price configuration of all Roxstate investment diamonds.

The Rapaport Diamond Report is a vital source of information for those who wish to buy or sell diamonds at fair market prices. Transactions within the diamond trade are now commonly adjusted using the "baseline" price guideline issued by the report.

_{^{The diamond market works on the premise that one stone is never an exact substitute for another. With such lack in clarity, diamond exchange transactions are often highly convoluted and fraught with skewed trades in order to make a profit at the expense of new or unknowing investors. Investing or trading in diamonds is still considered extremely difficult and inefficient for the average person. Although diamonds are historically considered valuable, the business of buying and selling stones remains purposefully closed to a few key players, allowing only a select group of long-running diamond manufacturers, dealers, traders and retailers to prosper.}}

By launching investment diamonds, Roxstate is enhancing the way the current diamond market works. There are two necessary elements needed to create a successful investment diamond:

1. Strictly enforced “investment-grade”

GIA diamond classifications

2. Trusted pricing system based on

the Rapaport Diamond Report

To be considered a Roxstate investment diamond, each stone must strictly adhere to the following GIA diamond specifications. GIA certified diamonds that do not meet the investment grade criteria can in no way be allowed to operate within the Roxstate ecosystem.
