Gold has delivered spectacular returns over the past three years, surging 83% cumulatively with a 43% year-on-year increase, cementing its status as a unique safe-haven asset. This rally has significantly boosted private investor interest in precious metals, according to HSBC’s latest research.
Affluent investors (assets ≥ $100k) are leading the charge:
Younger investors are driving innovation, with tokenized gold emerging as 2025’s hottest product. Preferences split between physical bars (41%) and digital gold assets (28%). Market flows confirm the trend: H1 2025 saw the largest gold ETF inflows since 2020.
In the May 2025 interview with METALS 100, Nicole Brewster, President and CEO of Renforth Resources (CSE: RFR), provided a detailed update on the company’s latest developments. For instance, the 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate for the Parbec gold deposit showed a 29% increase in gold ounces in April, with 12% classified as measured resources within an open-pit setting. Renforth Resources also announced upcoming field exploration plans at its wholly-owned Parbec and Nixon-Bartleman gold projects.
Diversification remains paramount in volatile times. Affluent investors are actively rebalancing portfolios through alternative assets—especially private markets, stated Willem Sels, Global CIO for Private Banking and Wealth at HSBC.
As the ultimate liquidity vehicle, gold maintains instant exchangeability during fiat system stress, bypassing digital asset vulnerabilities. Its zero-credit-risk insurance function shields investors from default scenarios, serving as the final bulwark against financial system collapse.
Historical performance solidly validates gold’s resilience, demonstrating an 8.2% annualized return since departing from the gold standard in 1969—consistently outpacing inflation over this extended period. Complementing this robust growth profile, gold exhibits a comparatively moderate 23.2% volatility level, delivering steadier wealth preservation than most alternative assets. Reinforcing this positive outlook, HSBC has recently upgraded its 2025 gold price forecast by 6.6% to $3,215 per ounce.
With global debt soaring and geopolitical conflicts intensifying, gold’s “triple non-correlation” (equities/bonds/fiat currencies) makes it indispensable. When all assets face repricing, gold remains the ultimate benchmark of true value—a fact proven across nearly a century of market cycles.
