Brandon Thor, CEOThat’s exactly what Brandon Thor, CEO of Thor Metals Group, set out to change by leading the charge to bring precious metals investing into the spotlight.
With over a decade of experience as a broker, he witnessed how many investors—often first-timers—lacked guidance, overpaid or were steered toward products that didn’t align with their goals. This realization led to the establishment of Thor Metals Group.
Under his leadership, the firm is committed to educating and empowering investors, providing them with a fair, ethical and transparent way to invest in precious metals and help them gain financial independence.
Operating with complete integrity, Thor Metals Group helps individuals understand how to preserve their wealth against inflation, economic instability and monetary policies.

“We’re championing a movement for financial independence. As we expand, we aim to ignite a financial awakening and disrupt outdated thinking and equip individuals with the tools and insight they need to build lasting wealth, confidently and independently, on their terms,” says Brandon Thor, CEO.

Unlike companies that offer exclusive, custom-minted coins, which are hard to price-check, Thor Metals Group emphasizes transparent product selection. It offers only widely recognized and globally traded bullion like American Eagles, Maple Leafs, bars and rounds while guaranteeing credibility in every transaction.
Moreover, the firm has a low-price guarantee. Rather than following the industry norm of excessive markups—often exceeding 100 percent—Thor Metals Group’s pricing aligns with major discount dealers like JM Bullion and APMEX. This approach ensures that customers receive fair pricing.
The firm is equally committed to lifetime client support and does not treat them as just one-time transactions. Its brokers provide ongoing support by answering calls and emails the same day, helping clients with statements, market updates and any concerns they may have, long after their initial purchase.
Thor Metals Group’s guaranteed buyback policy reinforces its commitment to transparency. While some firms impose hidden fees during liquidation, the firm provides a straightforward process by buying back metals from clients without additional commissions or fees. This approach guarantees fairness and reliability.
Since most investors are first-time buyers, the initial conversation with Thor Metals Group starts with a simple discussion: "Here’s why gold and silver are valuable. Does this align with what you’re looking for?" Analyzing a good fit is the first step. From there, the process is guided by three straightforward principles.
The Three Golden Rules of Precious Metals Investing
The firm is driven by a set of core policies that boldly distinguish it from the competition, redefining industry standards.
First up is investing in the metal itself, without unnecessary variables. The focus is on gold and silver for clients’ intrinsic value—not on coins with speculative stories about pirate ships or royal crowns.
The second one is about sticking to highly liquid, globally recognized metals like bullion, which guarantees strong resale potential and price transparency.
The final principle focuses on fair price comparisons, making sure alignment with broader market trends. Investors who put in half a million dollars only to receive $200,000 worth of metals—happen when people veer off course. It’s not because they bought American Eagles at inflated prices; it’s because they were sold obscure, hard-to-value products by brokers who made them sound like once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
The overall focus of Thor Metals Group is on simplifying the education process, using relatable analogies like real estate to help investors understand key concepts. By equipping them with the right knowledge, they gain confidence in their decisions and invest with certainty.
Education Leads to Confidence, Confidence Leads to Smart Investing
A great example of Thor Metals Group’s approach in action came during a conversation with a potential client. The client had consulted multiple firms earlier. Rather than comparing themselves to others, Thor explained their philosophy—investing should be transparent, logical, and free of gimmicks.
Thor walked him through common industry tactics, like promises of “free” metals or lifetime storage. Then came a simple but powerful question: “When you open a stock account, does Goldman Sachs give you free Apple shares? Investing doesn’t work like that. If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.”
That clicked with the client. They discussed the importance of buying widely recognized, easily resold metals. Thor advised: “If you can’t find thousands of dealers selling a product online, that’s a red flag. Go for coins like the American Gold Eagle or Maple Leaf—globally trusted and liquid.”
He encouraged the client to research metals himself. A few days later, the client called back: “One dealer offered me ‘three-toed dolphin coins’ at $1,400 for a quarter-ounce. Everything you said made sense. I’m going with your firm.”
By focusing on education and transparency, Thor helped the client make an informed decision—without the sales pitch.
“This experience reinforced our core belief. That is, education creates confident investors and confident investors make informed decisions. By focusing on transparency, logic, and real-world comparisons, right clients naturally see the value in what we offer—without needing to resort to sales pressure or negative tactics,” says Thor.
Over the next 18 to 24 months, Thor Metals Group's goal is to take gold investment from the fringes and introduce it to the mainstream. It is planning strategic partnerships and marketing efforts to reach demographics that have never been directly targeted by the industry before, like senior investors, mainstream investors and broader audiences. By bringing education to the forefront, it will broaden the conversation around gold and silver investing and make it a more widely accepted asset class for long-term financial security. This is an industry primed for disruption, and the firm is positioned to lead that charge.
