It Starts with Gold
Gold is the foundation of a well-diversified investment portfolio that includes income-producing private alternative assets like private equity and private real estate. These investments can help fortify and de-risk your portfolio against financial institution risk, economic threats, inflation, and higher taxes. Gold has long been considered a safe haven in times of economic uncertainty. Its stable value makes it a reliable hedge against inflation and market volatility. Gold represents security and confidence, serving as a foundation for wealth preservation and acting as portfolio insurance. Contact New World Precious Metals to discuss your purchase options.

Implications for Canadian Investors
Understanding the Dollar Milkshake Theory can provide valuable insights for Canadian investors, helping them navigate the complexities of global markets and make informed decisions. Here are some practical strategies:
The Role of Gold in Investment Portfolios
Gold has long been valued for its ability to preserve wealth. Unlike fiat currencies, which can be devalued through inflationary policies, gold maintains its value over time. Here are some reasons why gold is a crucial part of a diversified portfolio:
Recent Trends and Insights
Recent data underscores the growing importance of gold in investment strategies. According to the World Gold Council, central banks have been net buyers of gold for the past several years. In 2023, global central banks purchased a record amount of gold, driven by economic uncertainties and a desire to diversify reserves.
Canadian Perspective
These trends are particularly relevant for Canadian investors. The Canadian dollar's value is influenced by global commodity prices, including oil and gold. By understanding the dynamics of the Dollar Milkshake Theory and the strategic role of gold, Canadian investors can better position themselves for long-term success.

Why Gold Should Be the Foundation of Your Portfolio
The Stability and Reliability of Gold
Gold's stability and reliability make it an essential cornerstone for a well-diversified portfolio. Its value remains consistent even during economic turbulence, offering protection against inflation and financial uncertainty. Unlike paper assets, gold is a tangible asset that maintains its worth over time, making it a safe haven during financial crises. In light of potential vulnerabilities in the financial system, particularly those related to securities entitlements, owning a secure and tangible asset like gold is crucial.
Portfolio Insurance
Gold serves as portfolio insurance, providing a safety net against market fluctuations and economic downturns. When traditional investments such as stocks and bonds falter, gold often retains or even increases its value, offsetting losses in other areas of your portfolio. This characteristic makes gold an invaluable asset for anyone looking to protect their wealth from market volatility and economic instability.
Enhancing Portfolio Diversification with Private Real Estate
Combining gold with investments in private real estate, such as multifamily rental apartments, can further enhance portfolio diversification. This approach not only safeguards wealth but also taps into the growing demand for rental properties driven by immigration and demographic changes. Private real estate investments provide a steady income stream and the potential for capital appreciation, offering a complementary asset class to gold's stability.

The Custodial Model: An Additional Layer of Protection
In light of the revelations in David Rogers Webb's book The Great Taking, to further safeguard wealth, the firms I work with employ a custodial model, where client assets are held securely by an independent third-party custodian rather than commingled with the firm's assets. This crucial segregation of assets provides an additional layer of protection, reducing the risk of seizure or misappropriation in a financial crisis or institutional insolvency. The custodial model offers investors a safeguarded solution to help secure their wealth separately from the investment management firm.
