518: Is It Too Late to Invest in Gold? With Max Belmont – FEG Insight Bridge

April 2, 2025 by Camden Stein · Updated April 3, 2025

Greg Dowling of FEG interviews Max Belmont, a gold specialist and portfolio manager at First Eagle Investments. Greg and Max discuss the historical, philosophical, and practical reasons for owning gold.

Gold colored water with the caption "Too Late for Gold?"

Topics covered include:

  • Where does gold’s reputation as a safe haven come from, and why it trades differently than other commodities.
  • How gold differs from other asset classes including Bitcoin, which is sometimes referred to as digital gold.
  • How we should think about gold when including it in our investment portfolios.
