The phrase “affluent investors” can easily be misunderstood. Those with substantial savings in their IRA or 401(k) are considered to be “affluent investors” as well whether they have portfolios outside of their retirement or not.
As such, more and more have been shifting their wealth or retirement into physical precious metals. As noted by Neils Christenson from Kitco:
While central banks have attracted significant attention for their continued appetite for gold, they are not the only buyers in the marketplace. Affluent investors—those with at least $100,000 in assets—are also showing increased interest in the precious metal, according to a study from HSBC.
On Thursday, one of the world’s largest banks published its annual Affluent Investor Snapshot, which revealed that affluent investors have doubled their exposure to alternative assets, including gold. At the same time, investors have reduced their cash allocations by nearly 40%, particularly in Hong Kong, Mexico, the UK, and the US.
Breaking down the data further, affluent investors increased their gold exposure to 11%, a rise of six percentage points from last year. Similarly, cryptocurrency holdings rose to 7%, up three percentage points from 2024.
According to Augusta Precious Metals, there has been a spike in interest from affluent investors who use rollover or transfer options to painlessly move portions of their retirement accounts.
Augusta specializes in helping these affluent investors with over $100,000 in their retirement because keeping such a high minimum allows Augusta to maintain the lowest across-the-board spreads in the Gold IRA industry.
Projections are showing over 50% of affluent investors are planning to add more gold to their portfolios in the next 12 months. This is due in large part to continued pressure from the Trump administration to both devalue the U.S. Dollar and prompt the Federal Reserve to drop interest rates.
