Respondents were asked to name banks whose gold investment services they used. The split of the votes cast is shown below:

Respondents were asked to rate their providers on the scale of one (poor) to seven (excellent) for criteria relating to client service, product range and investment strategy and advice.
Scores were calculated as an arithmetic mean of ratings received per bank, with banks requiring a minimum coverage ratio of 5% of the response base to be included in the results. Any questions should be directed to Tim Moxon, tmoxon@euromoney.com.
