𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗗𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗼𝗺𝘆 In my previous post, I mentioned that I was planning to add to my portfolio. Done. Allocated +5.4% into a physical gold ETF (iShares Physical Gold ETC, PPFB.DE). I chose the EUR-listed version because a large part of my portfolio is already USD-based (crypto + US equities). In this case, I want pure gold exposure — not additional currency risk. My thinking: AI progress isn’t just an opportunity — it’s also pressure on the labor market. Automation is already reducing demand for certain roles, and over the next 5–10 years this could become a real challenge. Historically, during periods of rising uncertainty (geopolitics + economy + labor market), capital tends to move into safer assets. Gold isn’t rising only because of geopolitical tensions — there’s a broader structural shift happening in the economy. Governments still don’t have clear answers on how these changes will be managed. So I keep part of my portfolio in something that has held its ground more than once. ________________________________________ @SSAVISS — 𝘚𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘐𝘯𝘷𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘐𝘛, 𝘛𝘦𝘤𝘩 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘴 & 𝘊𝘳𝘺𝘱𝘵𝘰 $PPFB.DE (iShares Physical Gold ETC) $GOLD $IGLN.L (iShares Physical Gold ETC)
