𝗢𝗻𝗲. The World Gold Council's Gold as a Strategic Asset 2025 edition shows that adding 5% gold to a hypothetical USD portfolio of 50% equities, 40% fixed income, and 10% alternatives lifts the 20 years risk adjusted return metric from 63.3% to 66.9%, while reducing maximum drawdown from minus 35.3% to minus 33.0%.

𝗧𝘄𝗼. The UBS Global Family Office Report 2025, drawn from 317 single family offices across more than 30 markets, puts the average strategic allocation to gold and precious metals at 2C globally, with 19% of family offices using precious metals and 21% planning to increase over the next 5 years.

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲. A May 2025 update from the WGC argues that as the diversification benefit of government bonds has weakened against equities, modelling suggests a larger gold weight is needed to hold portfolio risk constant.
The defensible range for HNW portfolios in 2026 is wider than the legacy 5% ceiling. The right band depends on your specific exposures.
The Value Experts at J. Rotbart & Co. work this through with HNW and family-office clients.

A client recently described his gold allocation to me. “5% 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘧𝘰𝘭𝘪𝘰. 𝘋𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘥. 𝘔𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘢𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘪𝘵 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘸𝘰 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘴 𝘢𝘨𝘰.” Four questions later, what he owned looked very different from what he thought he owned.

Not bars with specific serial numbers. Not allocated and segregated to him. Not insured at replacement value. Not stored in any jurisdiction he could name. Not redeemable for physical metal at his account size.
He owned shares in a fund that held gold on behalf of all the fund’s investors.

In a normal market, the distinction does not matter. In the kind of stress event gold is supposed to hedge against, the distinction is most of the point.
Your wealth manager probably gave you good allocation advice. The implementation is worth a separate conversation.

As U.S. Treasury yields rise and diplomatic developments around Iran reduce immediate safe-haven demand, gold has entered a period of correction and consolidation. Yet beneath the short-term volatility, the structural case for physical precious metals remains intact.

This week’s Newspulse explores:

• Why rising yields are pressuring bullion in the near term

• How the central bank and physical demand continue to support the long-term thesis

• What stagflation risk could mean for precious metals investors

• Why the structure of ownership matters more than short-term price moves

For investors, the key question is no longer “How much gold do I own?” but: How is it owned, where is it stored, and how accessible is liquidity during periods of stress?

Question for treasurers, CFOs, and family-office CIOs. If your reserves had to be reachable tomorrow under a sanctions or banking-system stress event, would they be?
Read more: https://jrotbart.com/central-banks-buying-gold-2025/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=socialmedia&utm_content=CentralBank

Since 2022, central banks have answered that question by buying physical gold for four years running. They are not trading. They are re-rating what reserve assets are for.

Even in 2025, with gold at record prices, official buying came in at 863 tonnes, nearly double the 2010-21 average. Poland led, adding 102 tonnes and lifting gold to 28 percent of total reserves.

The framework is borrowable. A defensible, documented, physically held allocation in the low single digits to mid-teens of liquid wealth, held outside your home banking system, is what the most conservative institutions in the world have been doing.
Happy to discuss what that looks like in practice. Reach out to the Value Experts at J. Rotbart & Co.

1️⃣ You trigger capital gains tax. In the US, long-term rates on collectibles can reach 28% federal, plus state.
2️⃣ You permanently exit the position. Any further appreciation is no longer yours.

At our firm, qualifying HNWI clients borrow up to 85% against vaulted gold, with the metal remaining allocated and insured throughout the loan. Repayment options run from monthly to annual. If you have an opportunity in another asset class and your gold is sitting in a vault, the cheapest cash on your balance sheet is probably the loan against your bullion.

As U.S. debt surpasses GDP for the first time since World War II, investors are reassessing the long-term sustainability of fiat-based systems and the growing role of gold in capital preservation.

In this week’s J. Rotbart & Co. NewsPulse, we explore:
• The structural shift in U.S. fiscal sustainability
• Rising inflation and monetary policy transitions
• Why institutional investors continue turning to physical precious metals
• The importance of jurisdictional security in uncertain markets.

As global volatility persists, many investors are focusing less on short-term market movements and more on long-term wealth resilience.

“𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘨𝘰𝘭𝘥?” is the wrong question. The right question is: “𝗔𝗰𝗿𝗼𝘀𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗷𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗱𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄?” Read now: https://jrotbart.com/best-jurisdictions-store-gold-silver/?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=socialmedia&utm_content=Jurisdictions

Five jurisdictions consistently earn institutional trust for physical bullion storage:
* Singapore. Tax-free, neutral, world-class vaults.
* Switzerland. The old-school European benchmark.
* Hong Kong. Built for active management of metals.
* Germany. Europe’s deepest retail bullion market.
* United States. The largest market, with reporting trade-offs.

No single one of these is the answer. The investors who get this right use two or three in combination, weighted to their residency, family base, and wider portfolio.
A vault in your home country is not diversification. It is concentration with extra steps.

The recent Iran conflict exposed a critical weakness in concentrated bullion storage.
