October 15’s Gold 360 event put gold allocation at the center of wealth advice, with Hubbis convening a one-hour online panel for private banks, family offices and other gatekeepers.
Three forces drove the discussion: stronger recent gold performance, rising geopolitical and sanctions risk, and fiscal strains that could keep real rates low and erode fiat-currency purchasing power.
Most portfolio frameworks cited in the report place strategic gold holdings at 5% to 10%, with larger allocations potentially fitting UHNW families with illiquid wealth, cross-border exposure or succession needs.
Ownership routes ranged from allocated physical bars and ETFs to tokenized gold, with advisors urged to match each option’s liquidity, custody, jurisdiction and redemption features to client needs.
The panel reflects gold’s shift from a niche hedge to a mainstream portfolio question for wealthy clients across Asia and the Middle East.
