See how we protect client metal
People first
This is about more than gold, more than making a buck or an ounce. Any good business is about people. We treat our employees the way we want them to treat our clients.
Diligence in all things
Drill down, all the way down to the bedrock: in hiring, partnering, placing gold with a business or developing a new program. Measure twice, cut once.
Focus
You can only do one thing at a time. Identify the most important thing, then do it urgently. Then the most important thing, then the next. Prioritize.
Be ambitious
Working at Monetary Metals is not just a job. We’re on a mission to change the world. Billions of people are counting on us. Failure is not an option.
Integrity in all things
Think rationally, speak honestly, act with integrity. Say what you mean, mean what you say and keep your word.
Communicate transparently
Surface issues early. Debate vigorously but constructively. Seek consensus then commit to execute.
Our story
Keith Weiner started Monetary Metals with one radical idea: that gold is money, still. If gold still has moneyness, then it can and should be used to finance production, the way it was used for millennia. In 2012 he established a hedge fund and launched a website to cover our unique approach to analyzing gold and silver markets. Four years later, we launched the first Gold Fixed Income product which paid 3% annual interest on gold, in gold, thus putting the wheels of Monetary Metals in motion.
