Asia’s Ultra-Rich Turn Gold Traders Amid Soaring Demand

Published: 08-12-2025, 10:00 am | Updated: 08-12-2025, 09:29 am

Asia’s richest families are taking a hands-on approach to gold, running operations more like 19th-century trading houses than passive investors. Multi-family offices and dealers such as Cavendish Investment Corp., J. Rotbart & Co., and Goldstrom are sourcing gold from African mines, refining it in Hong Kong, and selling it to Asian and Chinese buyers for premiums. High geopolitical tensions, inflation fears, and a weaker US dollar are fueling demand, with wealthy investors in Hong Kong and mainland China sharply increasing their gold allocations. Beyond trading, some are leasing gold for steady returns, engaging in cross-market arbitrage, or using it as collateral. However, compliance challenges, supply risks, and soaring prices could slow the frenzy within the next year.

The structural case — six consecutive silver deficits, 863 tonnes of central bank gold buying, and a gold-silver ratio above its long-run average — has not changed. This guide covers the floor thesis, how to read the GSR as a strategic compass, and how dollar-cost averaging turns volatility into an advantage.

Samantha is wonderful. I was nervous about spending a chunk of money. I asked her to `hold my hand’ and walk me through making my purchase.  
She laughed and guided me through, step by step. She was so helpful in explaining everything...

Travis was amazing! I was having difficulty with a wire transfer of my life’s savings, and I was very worried that I might not be able to receive it all. My husband just passed away and I’ve been worried about these funds along with grieving for 8 months. As soon as I got connected with Travis, my concerns were immediately addressed and he put me at ease. The issue was resolved within days. He even called me back with updates to keep me in the loop about what was going on with the funds. I am so grateful for a customer representative like Travis. He really cares for his clients.

Sam was also very helpful! I called and was connected to Sam within 30 seconds. She helped me with a fee that was charged to my account. She had a great attitude and took care of the fee quickly.

    Outstanding quality and customer service. I first discovered Mike Maloney through his “Secrets of Money” video series. It was an excellent precious metals education. I was a financial advisor and it really helped me learn more about wealth protection. I used this knowledge to help protect my clients retirements. I purchase my precious metals through goldsilver.com. It is easy, fast and convenient. I also invested my IRA’s and utilize their excellent storage options. Bottom line, Mike and his team have earned my trust. I continue to invest in wealth protection and my own education. I give back and help others see the opportunities to invest in precious metals. Thank you.
