Arigato, {{ first name | dear investor }},
Happy 8/8! 🧧
In Chinese culture, the number 8 represents prosperity, abundance, and good fortune.
But while many people are hoping for more "huat" in their lives today, smart investors know that real wealth isn't built on luck.
It's built on understanding opportunities before everyone else does.
One asset that's been getting a lot of attention recently is gold.
Over the past six months, gold has fallen by almost 30% from its peak lately, causing many investors to ask:
Has gold lost its shine?
Interestingly, while many retail investors have been worried, multi-asset fund manager Laurent Lequeu believes this is exactly the kind of period where long-term investors start accumulating.
And over the past few days, we've already seen gold rebound around 5%.
So...
Has gold already found its bottom?
Will gold continue rising for the rest of 2026?
What's supporting the long-term outlook for gold?
And could silver offer an even bigger opportunity?
To find out, I invited Laurent back for another Arigato Deep Dive.
In this interview, he shares how he's advising his multi-millionaire clients to position their portfolios amid today's uncertainty, along with his views on gold, silver, the US market, and where he sees opportunities next.
If you're wondering whether now is the time to add precious metals to your portfolio, I think you'll enjoy this conversation.

Wishing you a prosperous 8/8—not just today, but through making wiser investment decisions for years to come.
Huat ah! 🍊
