Monetary Metals was recently featured in a CNBC article examining the rapid growth of gold leasing among the ultra-wealthy.
As gold reaches historic highs, more investors are looking for ways to earn a return on the gold that they already own and plan to hold long term.
CNBC’s coverage highlighted this shift and featured Monetary Metals’ role in making gold leasing accessible to individual investors around the globe.
Quoting Keith Weiner, Founder and CEO of Monetary Metals, they wrote,
“People are no longer just buying gold and waiting for it to go up to $5,000. They want to hold it regardless of price — and then the mind immediately turns to: how do I put it to work?”
Gold’s rising price has increased financing needs across the supply chain for refiners, jewelers, and fabricators that use the metal in production or inventory. Lease financing provides them access to gold without taking on price exposure, while investors who supply the gold earn monthly yields denominated in gold. Monetary Metals is the global leader in bringing these two markets together on our Gold Yield Marketplace® platform.
The article featured a long-time client of Monetary Metals who recently doubled the amount of gold that he leases on the platform.
He shared why he expanded his leasing activity as prices climbed:
“The only certain bet I know is that currencies will depreciate,” Joseph told CNBC. “Central banks have been accumulating gold at an extraordinary rate. We live in a world where the global debt is unprecedented. Accumulating gold is the easiest, stress-free decision one can make.”
CNBC noted that Joseph currently earns roughly 3.8% per year, paid in gold through his Monetary Metals account.
The article also highlighted the importance of risk management in gold leasing.
Monetary Metals employs best-in-class risk mitigation strategies, including insurance, audits, and advanced RFID tracking technologies. They have completed over 70 successful lease transactions to date.
The coverage by CNBC underscores a broader trend: investors who already hold gold are increasingly choosing to put their metal to work in leases to earn a return in gold.
For individuals seeking yield without selling their metal, gold leasing offers a straightforward and transparent solution.
