In this episode of The SAVER Show, Michael Dillard sits down with Grayson Geiler, manager of the Gold Rush Yield Fund in Scottsdale, to explore how gold fits into today's financial system and whether it can do more than simply sit in a vault.

Grayson brings 25 years of market experience, including time on the commodity exchanges in Chicago. He explains how those experiences shaped his views of the financial system and his long-term interest in gold.

They also explore the concept of putting gold to work through strategies such as digitization and leasing, rather than treating it solely as a store of value.

You'll discover:

  • Why some central banks have increased their gold reserves
  • How global gold markets and pricing work
  • Why gold plays a major role in countries such as India and Turkey
  • How gold leasing works and the potential risks and returns
  • The difference between owning physical gold, gold ETFs, and other gold-related strategies
  • Where investors can buy gold and how much they may need to get started
  • Tax considerations surrounding different forms of gold ownership
  • How investors think about gold as part of a diversified portfolio

Michael and Grayson also tackle a bigger question:

Can gold be more than an inflation hedge or fear trade?

If you've wondered where gold belongs alongside stocks, retirement accounts, cash, and other investments, this conversation will give you a framework for thinking about it.
