Gold: The Critical Preservation Mindset & Asset
In this brief discussion from the recent Vancouver Resource Investment Conference 2026, Matthew Piepenburg, Partner at VON GREYERZ, discusses the clear connection between the secular direction in precious metals pricing (despite inevitable swings) and the weakening credibility of fiat currencies and sovereign IOUs. He highlights why gold is increasingly treated not as a trade but as a monetary refuge in an era of systemic fragility and open transition.
Piepenburg specifically underscores the preservation mindset of the VON GREYERZ enterprise, history and clientele, whereby the focus has always been the longer-term conviction and understanding that wealth should be measured in lasting stores of value rather than increasingly debased currencies. Once understood in this context, it is far easier to remain calm as a precious metals investor regardless of headlines evidencing growing fractures in the global financial system.
