“Investors in Asia are increasingly dealing with a seemingly anachronistic problem: finding a place to stash their bars of gold. Gold is a popular choice for those seeking to diversify their holdings and spread risk but it isn’t the most mobile of assets.

Security companies are busy ordering two-ton steel doors and sophisticated monitoring systems, and hiring more armed guards as they expand their high-security vault capacity in Asia.”
