Who to Refer
Any client with a meaningful nest egg who has not addressed inflation risk or market volatility is a fit. Gold and silver should be positioned as wealth insurance, not speculation. Metals move inversely to dollar-based assets like equities and real estate, making them a powerful hedge when sized correctly. For this to work as a true offset, precious metals need to represent 10 to 15% of the client’s total portfolio. Anything less does not carry enough weight to act as a real hedge.
Best For
- Clients with investable assets who have no inflation protection strategy
- High earners heavily concentrated in equities or real estate
- Clients approaching retirement who need to reduce downside exposure
- Anyone asking how to protect wealth in an uncertain market environment
How to Refer
“What have you done to mitigate some of the market and inflation risk that is among us right now?”
That question alone surfaces the need. From there, frame gold and silver as insurance for their wealth, not a speculative investment. The goal is to position 10 to 15% of their portfolio in metals so it has real offsetting power against their other dollar-based assets.
