Egon von Greyerz has built a global reputation as one of the leading voices of precious metal ownership as a critical wealth preservation asset. For decades, he has written and presented internationally on gold topics and themes.
Partner, Matthew Piepenburg, compliments this legacy via an extensive background in risk asset markets - the fractures, risks and signals of which greatly inform his own and shared conviction for precious metal ownership. Together, von Greyerz and Piepenburg are the co-authors of Gold Matters, Real Solutions to Surreal Risks.

Matthew explains how decades of precious metal price fixing on this exchange operates and what its recent inflows and outflows suggest for fairer pricing in an otherwise rigged futures market. As importantly, Piepenburg puts the entire (and desperate) COMEX revolving door of physical gold into blunt context. Stated simply, the COMEX gold flows are a classic symptom and confirmation that the world prefers physical gold over USTs as a strategic reserve asset. As such, the major players are, therefore, demanding delivery of their metals outside the NY warehouses. The implications behind this are massive. This is because fiat money in a debt-soaked global financial system is now in an undeniable bear market. For Piepenburg, such appalling and unprecedented debt levels and the consequent moves toward physical gold comprise a critical lighthouse in the fog of a deliberately misunderstood and global currency crisis.
