In this episode, today’s guest is Simon Popple, founder of The Gold Program, which is designed to deliver returns better than the gold price itself (averaging 10.6% annually over the last 25 years).

  • The 4 key gold drivers: Market Uncertainty, Interest Rates, Debt, Inflation (MIDI)
  • Why countries and central banks are buying more gold
  • How individuals can get started: coins, bars, ETFs, funds, equities
  • The difference between short-term speculation and long-term gold investing
  • How gold compares to property, crypto, and equities as an inflation hedge
  • Tax advantages of gold investing (capital gains and legal tender coins)
  • Practical advice on diversifying portfolios with gold exposure
