4. What’s Changing?
A Global Repatriation & Hoarding
Gresham's Law:
Total Gold Demand, 2009 Q1 and 2013 Q2.
"When a government overvalues
one type of money and
undervalues another, the
undervalued money will leave the
country or disappear from
circulation into hoards, while the
overvalued money will flood into
circulation."
"Bad money drives out good".
What is the “Bad Money”?
Unallocated Paper Gold
35.06%
72.94%
HOARDING!

8. Wholesale Market Comparison
London Market
Global Market
London price
Global market connecting local physical markets
Unallocated
True global price + True local prices + Flattened Global Price
Effective unlimited supply - Part of fractional banking system
Allocated – difficult to manipulate
Investor holds counterparty risk against custodian
Finite supply – placing upward pressure on gold prices
Expensive transportation costs
Investor holds legal title
Only trading and clearing during London time
Negligible counterparty risk
Only wholesale lot sizes – Market not available to private investors
Can store gold locally in home region
Organically dying market
Minimal transportation costs
Organically evolving market
