A gold market in full euphoria
Historical records and bright prospects
The year 2024 will go down in history with an exceptional performance of +34% in euros for gold, setting more than 40 new historical records. The world’s largest financial institutions agree on an exciting outlook for 2025: Goldman Sachs is targeting $3,100 per ounce, while JP Morgan is forecasting $3,675 in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a target of $4,000 by mid-2026.
Global central banks are confirming this trend with record purchases of 1,045 tonnes in 2024, the third consecutive year above the symbolic 1,000-ton threshold. Total demand reached a historic high of 4,974 tonnes, valued at $382 billion, reflecting the unprecedented enthusiasm for the precious metal.
Paper Gold: The Revolution in Gold Investing
Gold ETFs and certificates now represent the optimal investment solution, combining instant liquidity, low fees (0.09% to 0.40% per year), and accessibility from just a few euros. No need to worry about storage or insurance: paper gold offers direct exposure to the precious metal with unparalleled ease of use.
The performance speaks for itself: +8.17% average annual return over 50 years, certified by a bailiff. During the COVID-19 period and recent geopolitical tensions, gold has confirmed its status as the ultimate safe haven, effectively protecting assets from economic turmoil.
Exceptional tax advantages in France
An optimal tax framework for paper gold
The French tax system offers preferential treatment to paper gold with remarkable advantages:
Progressive 5% annual tax reduction starting from the third year of ownership
Total exemption on capital gains after 22 years
No VAT on purchase, unlike certain forms of physical gold
Eligibility for life insurance and certain PEAs to optimize tax performance
Exemption from the IFI since 2018
This advantageous tax regime transforms paper gold into a leading wealth management tool for building and transferring wealth.
Wealth management in full transformation
A dynamic and innovative sector
The French wealth management market, estimated at €2.5 billion in 2024, is experiencing sustained growth. 94% of wealth management advisors report the excellent health of the sector, with a growing client base (+67%) and a notable rejuvenation of investor profiles.
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing practices: 82% of professionals consider it essential, enabling greater personalization of investment strategies. Robo-advisors and digital platforms are democratizing access to sophisticated strategies, previously reserved for the wealthy.
Gold, the pillar of wealth diversification
Experts agree on an optimal allocation of 5 to 10% to gold in a diversified portfolio. This proportion allows investors to benefit from gold’s negative correlation with equities, creating a valuable stabilizing effect in times of volatility.
Ray Dalio, founder of the legendary hedge fund Bridgewater, allocates 15% to precious metals in his “All Weather” portfolio, a strategy recognized worldwide for its resilience. Harry Browne even recommends 25% in his “Permanent Portfolio,” demonstrating the central role of gold in the most successful wealth strategies.
