There's a reason gold has been called a 'safe-haven' asset for many decades now.

Chatting to Goldmoney's Head of Research Alasdair Macleod recently, we gleaned a deeper insight into what that reason is.

It's not just about an inflation hedge, or about the removal of counterparty risk.

To Alasdair, it's the fact that debt around the world is at unsustainable levels, and fiat currency is suffering for it.

If the dollar, the yen, the pound, are built on promises rather than reality - what can we rely on?

Well, according to him, the real safety is physical gold. And he's not the first to have this thought by a long shot.

Remember J.P. Morgan in 1912? Gold is money. Everything else is credit.

The UK government has requisitioned gold before - could they do it again?

After the Second World War, the government required all citizens to sell their physical gold back to them in exchange for paper notes.

While they paid the full sterling price for it, it forced the population to switch to bank-issued IOUs.

After that, there were restrictions on how much any citizen could own. Those restrictions have long been lifted, but for some people, the fear is still there.

The difference is that without a gold standard, the government couldn't control the entire gold supply like this again.

After all, intentionally devaluing the asset you require to get you out of financial trouble is inherently counterproductive.

Consider on top of this the money they'd have spend confiscating it in the first place, and you realise that gold is back to what its always been: a private store of wealth, decentralised from the government and banking systems.

We hear it all the time: clients come to us citing a social media post or article they saw that said gold could climb as far as $10,000/oz.

Is it actually possible?

We can't predict the future. But years ago, people said the same about $4000/oz and $5000/oz - it was too far-fetched, too unbelievable, to ever actually happen.

A few years on, and not only is $4000/oz the new floor for gold, but at its peak in January, it hit $5500/oz.

We can't say what the gold price will be in a year, two years, or ten years.

But if we've learned anything, it's to expect the unexpected.

Central banks have been buying physical gold at record levels all through 2026.

And that's just what they disclose. Remember, there's no mandate for disclosure.

The question is: why?

In a world where they have access to every currency, every stock option, every asset, why physical gold?

The answer is the same amongst our clients as it is with central banks and institutions: physical gold is about safety and security in a tangible asset, removed entirely from counterparty risk.

If you're thinking about purchasing physical gold for the sake of profit, you might not be thinking about it the right way.

Physical gold is often hailed as 'real money' - not cash, not unbacked currency, but gold.

Purchasing bullion is less about making huge gains or getting rich quick, and much more about financial safety in an increasingly unsafe world.

Protecting your wealth is just as important as making more of it.

If gold is money, and everything else is credit, where does that leave our finances?

According to Alasdair Macleod, economist and Head of Research at Goldmoney, the answer is that it leaves us with nothing.

It might sound far-fetched or dramatic, but it's a fact that all fiat currencies throughout history trend towards zero.

To Alasdair, to many of our clients, and to economists throughout history, real money is gold - not unbacked, bank-issued IOUs.

And if we want to avoid wealth depreciating before our eyes, we need to be thinking in terms of real money.

Has the era of fiat currency run its course?

26/08/2026

If you'd have bought an ounce of physical gold a year ago exactly, you'd have made an approximate 37% gain on your purchase today (GBP).

If you bought that gold in legal tender coins as a UK resident, that 37% gain wouldn't be liable for any capital gains tax.

On the other hand, when you purchase a gold ETF to track that same 37% increase, you are liable to capital gains tax on the growth, stripping 18-24% of your gain away before you've even seen it.

Not only that, but you miss the benefits of a physical asset held in your own two hands, and leave yourself open to counterparty risk.

There's a reason central banks and institutions buy the physical metal over the ETF... and it's not just because it looks prettier.



*Gold can go down as well as up. Tax benefits subject to change by the UK government and dependent on individual circumstances.*

When you start to look through history, it becomes clear that nothing is new.

The war, the uncertainty, the economic turbulence - we've seen it all before.

And throughout it all, the one asset with a track record for wealth preservation, financial autonomy, and privacy?

Physical gold.

Whether it was families converting life savings into gold during the Second World War to hide it from danger, or women requiring jewellery before marriage as insurance against destitution, physical gold has always stood for control in an uncontrollable landscape.

The narrative might shift, but the nature of the asset hasn't.

We chatted to Dominic Frisby recently about January's gold rally, the consequent correction, and what it means for investors over half a year on.

One of the many upsides to being an entirely consultative service is that we have our ear to the door of the market.

Our tailored service not only provides our clients with the information and guidance they require to confidently purchase physical gold, but also helps us to understand how their motivations change over time, giving us an entirely unique insight into the retail space.

In January, we saw an exponential increase in first-time buyers. Now, that percentage has shifted.

More and more, we're seeing people buy physical gold not out of hype, but because of the benefits that a defensive and tangible asset can provide - whether the price is up or down.

Debt and deficits are the keywords for this week's market update, with gold showing significant upside in response.

The UK economy may be growing, but cracks are starting to form ahead of the October budget; across the pond, renewed fears around currency debasement are leading to little relief even with heightened buybacks.
