Matthew Piepenberg
Matt 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 most reliable and longer-term protection against potential systemic risk led Matt to join VON GREYERZ.
The author of the Amazon No#1 Release, Rigged to Fail, Matt is fluent in French, German and English; he is a graduate of Brown (BA), Harvard (MA) and the University of Michigan (JD). His widely respected reports on macro conditions and the changing behaviour of risk assets are published regularly at SignalsMatter.com.

For centuries, philosophers have compared the great questions (and mysteries) of life to a circle. That is: To fully understand the circle, you must also recognize its arcs, and to fully understand the arcs, you must see the circle.
In Part 1 of this two-part conversation with Farzin Irani, Matthew Piepenburg offers further insights and context to gold’s evolving role in an ever-changing global landscape.
Whatever one thinks of the United States (economically, morally, militarily or politically), we can all agree that its dollar exerts tremendous influence (and controversy) over a rapidly changing world.
