The ZukunftsForum Edelmetalle shows how asset managers and family offices can benefit from the precious metals boom and differentiate themselves strategically<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Frankfurt am Main, March 04, 2026 -\u00a0<\/em>Precious metals have evolved from a tactical add-on component to a strategically relevant asset. Driven by geopolitical tensions, structural inflation risks and increasing fragmentation of the global economy, gold and other precious metals are gaining significant weight in institutional portfolios. How asset managers, private banks and family offices can take advantage of this development and position themselves clearly against the competition is shown in the\u00a0ZukunftsForum Edelmetalle<\/strong>\u00a0on March 23 and 24, 2026.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Institutional investors significantly increase gold allocation
<\/strong>Major international investors have noticeably increased their commitments recently. Houses like\u00a0Morgan Stanley<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Bank of America<\/strong>\u00a0are increasingly focusing on gold - often via exchange-traded products. The focus is particularly on the world's largest gold ETF, the\u00a0SPDR Gold Shares<\/strong>, which recorded inflows of over five billion euros in the past quarter alone.\u00a0<\/strong>This development underlines the fact that gold has arrived in the strategic asset allocation of institutional investors - liquid, transparent and efficient to implement.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Family offices act cautiously - opportunity for differentiation
<\/strong>A different picture is painted by the\u00a0J. P. Morgan 2026 Global Family Office Report<\/strong>Family offices invest on average only up to two percent of their assets in gold; more than 70 percent of the addresses surveyed currently hold neither gold nor silver.<\/p>\n

The picture among German asset managers and private banks is also heterogeneous. While some institutions strategically integrate precious metals, others remain significantly underweighted. This is precisely where an entrepreneurial opportunity lies: \u201eA well-founded, strategically based precious metal allocation can serve as a clear differentiator in the competition for sophisticated mandates,\u201c says Wolfgang Wrzesniok-Ro\u00dfbach, precious metals expert and organizer of the ZukunftsForum Edelmetalle. \u201eEspecially in an environment of growing uncertainty and increasing demand for real values.\u201c<\/p>\n

Central bank perspective as a strategic compass
<\/strong>In view of the current political and financial situation, the presentation by Dr. Karsten Stroborn, Head of the Central Markets Division of the Deutsche Bundesbank, on his bank's current view of the financial markets and gold as a component of currency reserves is sure to attract particular attention.<\/p>\n

Among other things, his article classifies the role gold plays in reserve policy and the possible signaling effect of the ongoing gold purchases by central banks. The Bundesbank's perspective may also provide a strategic framework for professional investors.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Tokenization of gold - innovation with potential
<\/strong>The investor session will be rounded off by the presentation \u201eTokenization of gold - is this the future?\u201c by Dr. Philipp Reisert, Managing Partner of C.Hafner GmbH & Co. KG. The digitalization of physical assets opens up new opportunities for more efficient trading and settlement processes, improved transparency, the development of new investor groups and a combination of physical deposit and digital tradability. Asset managers are increasingly asking themselves whether tokenized precious metals can serve as a supplementary building block in modern mandate structures in the future.<\/p>\n
