Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about our framework, process, and the benefits of emerald co-ownership.

The EmGEMx framework is designed to comply with the EU Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) and similar regulations in other jurisdictions. Each co-ownership share represents physical emeralds stored in regulated vaults, with complete documentation and regular independent audits. Learn more in our Data Room.
Emeralds offer several benefits for institutional portfolios: historical price stability with steady appreciation (6-12% annually), low correlation to traditional markets, inflation resistance, and physical backing with intrinsic value. The EmGEMx framework adds transparency, standardization, and liquidity to these inherent benefits. View historical performance in our Portfolio section.
Qualified institutional investors can request physical redemption of emeralds equivalent to their co-ownership shares. The process involves submitting a redemption request, verification of ownership, payment of handling fees, and coordination for secure vault pickup. We support delivery through third-party services when needed. Details are available in our Transparency section.
Emeralds in the EmGEMx framework are sourced exclusively from mines with documented ESG-compliant practices. Each emerald is handpicked by a team of GIA trained gemmologists and then goes through our rigorous proof of reserve process. The complete provenance is documented and accessible to co-owners. Learn more in our ESG section.
As with any investment, there are risks to consider: market value fluctuation based on global demand, liquidity limitations compared to public markets, regulatory changes that could affect the framework, and operational risks related to secure storage and verification. Our risk management framework addresses each of these areas with robust controls and transparency. Full risk disclosure is available in our Data Room.
