Gold Warnings from Private Equity & Credit
Matthew Piepenburg
Private equity and private credit were once hailed as the most powerful engines of modern finance. But as the global credit cycle tightens and liquidity dries up, the cracks in these multi-trillion-dollar sectors are becoming increasingly visible.
In this latest clip, Matthew Piepenburg, Partner at VON GREYERZ, examines the growing risks inside private equity and private credit, from rising defaults and illiquid valuations to hidden banking exposure, and explains why even major market figures like Jeffrey Gundlach now warn these markets may represent the next systemic threat.
As these pillars of the credit-driven financial system begin to wobble, Matt explains why the implications extend far beyond Wall Street, and why the same forces now threatening these markets may ultimately drive gold prices significantly higher.
Stay with us as Matthew Piepenburg explains why cracks in private equity and private credit could have major implications for gold.
Matthew Piepenburg, Commercial Director at Matterhorn Asset Management and co-founder of SignalsMatter.com, has extensive experience in alternative investments, law, and finance, with particular expertise in managed futures, credit and equity investing. 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).
