restoring gold from a peripheral, alternative asset to one that occupies
its rightful place at the center of any robust wealth preservation or
capital appreciation strategy. I look forward to working with Roy, Josh
and the entire GoldMoney team to provide a range of innovative and
competitive wealth services to our clients across the world, from those
just beginning their upward mobility, to those protecting their wealth
and legacy. It will also be my pleasure to contribute to the GoldMoney
Insights offering with Stefan Wieler, James Turk and Alasdair Macleod."
"John’s industry experience and relationships will be highly valuable to
our mission," said Josh Crumb, Chief Strategy Officer. "He has worked in
senior roles at major investment banks in multiple countries and has
developed products and strategies for both institutional and private
investors. Most important, he understands gold's unique properties which
make it an essential part of any diversified investment process, and the
only valid international measurement to determine sustainable-long term
prosperity."
