Gold’s Steady Role vs Unsteady Headlines Matthew Piepenberg
Matthew Piepenburg, Partner at VON GREYERZ, places rapidly changing and admittedly alarming headlines into sober perspective as to gold’s secular direction and role going forward. Focusing purely on the economics (rather than political or military guesswork) of the ever-changing conflict in Iran, Piepenburg briefly describes the competing financial interests of the various parties.
Primarily, this is a war about the dollar, the UST, oil and yes, gold’s larger role. Piepenburg places the conflict into the larger context of US dollar hegemony in particular and hence US global hegemony in general – all of which are at risk. He addresses five key risk factors in the backdrop to this otherwise pivotal geopolitical conflict.
Finally, Piepenburg addresses the various scenarios of a resolved or unresolved conflict, all of which point toward massive gold tailwinds going forward.

He also has years of experience researching, evaluating and investing in alternative investments: hedge funds, private equity vehicles, VC and real estate. Matthew Piepenburg's skills include asset allocation, portfolio management and macro economic analysis. He has written numerous white papers on the long-term distortions of central bank policies here and abroad. He has guest lectured at numerous family office forums, law firms and universities, including Georgetown, Brown, Harvard and Cal State. Matthew Piepenburg is also a published author and regular contributor to The Good Men Project and the author of the Amazon No1 New Release “Rigged to Fail,” which bluntly details the systemic and structural flaws behind central-bank distorted capital markets.
All of these combined monetary distortions are directly responsible for the staggering level of currency debasement ignored in plain sight by a majority of policy makers and investors, which is why Matthew is committed to informing of, as well as addressing solutions to, these systemic fault-lines in the global system. Toward this end, all rivers flow toward precious metals as currency insurance (hence Matterhorn role in Zurich) as well as sober yet actively managed portfolio construction (hence the SignalsMatter service).
