GoldSwitzerland by VON GREYERZ, Released on 1/9/25

In this opening Gold Matters discussion for 2025, VON GREYERZ principals, Egon von Greyerz and Matthew Piepenburg, address their major risk concerns for the year ahead, namely: market risk, political risk, currency/inflation risk and banking risk. Piepenburg and von Greyerz combine personal experience and quantitative data—from the Buffet Indicator to the global M2 supply – to reveal the future consequences of years of negligent/failed leadership, debt levels and monetary policies. Whether addressing bubbles in risk asset markets, cracks in the banking system or a dramatically shifting political landscape, the ongoing systemic and secular global debt crisis makes future inflationary and currency patterns eerily clear. All roads lead to the continued debasement of fiat money and its purchasing power to sustain an otherwise broken global financial system, which, in turn, means all roads lead to physical gold (“nature’s only real money”) as the ultimate anti-fiat solution to a fiat world is now open decline.

Matthew Piepenburg began his finance career as a transactional attorney before launching his first hedge fund during the NASDAQ bubble of 1999-2001. Thereafter, he began investing his own and other HNW family funds into alternative investment vehicles while operating as a General Counsel, CIO and later Managing Director of a single and multi-family office. Matthew worked closely as well with Morgan Stanley’s hedge fund platform in building a multi-strat/multi-manager fund to better manage risk in a market backdrop of extreme central bank intervention/support. The conviction that precious metals provides the best protection against potential systemic risk led Matt to join Matterhorn Asset Management.
