Gold Sessions with Jonny Haycock: The 3 Foundations of Secure Gold Ownership

October 30, 2025

In this first episode of Gold Sessions, Jonny Haycock and Matthew Piepenburg of VON GREYERZ discuss 3 key areas:

  1. Banking risk.
  2. Jurisdiction risk, and
  3. Why a deep understanding of macro trends informs better investment decision-making. 

Against the backdrop of escalating debt levels, slowing economies, and a deeply stressed financial system, the discussion challenges mainstream narratives. It reveals why gold continues to stand apart—not just as a trustworthy investment strategy, but as a consistently resilient asset. Piepenburg dismantles common misconceptions surrounding gold’s performance, highlights its 25-year outperformance of the S&P 500, and explains why the current global debt crisis makes it more relevant than ever.

Together, Jonny and Matthew explore how investors should rethink their strategies in a world of declining trust in fiat currencies, record-breaking sovereign debt and increasingly distorted financial markets.

Golden takeaways:

  • Be mindful of poorly understood risks of holding gold within the Banking system
  • Choosing the best jurisdiction to store gold is critical. Switzerland and Singapore still stand out.
  • Ultimately, when seeking gold vaulting and precious metals wealth preservation advice, the most important factor to consider is the people you’re seeking advice from. Credibility, longevity, consistency and trust are everything. 

Watch the full episode of Gold Sessions to gain first-hand insight from Matthew Piepenburg and discover why understanding gold today may be the most important financial decision you make.
