AI Summary
5 min readIn a recent episode of MEMES, the host pointed to data from Rob Keynes showing that millennials now own a higher percentage of gold than any other generation. The host framed this as a surprising shift, noting that the stereotype of a gold stacker is a "crabby old man," but the reality is that "the young guns are voting with their wallets."
The central data point is that the millennial generation's average portfolio allocation to gold is 17%. This is significantly higher than Generation X (the host's own generation), which sits at 10%. Baby boomers, the generation just before Gen X, show even lower numbers. The host did not provide a precise boomer figure, but the contrast was clear: millennials are far more committed to gold as a portfolio asset than their elders.
The episode also highlighted a generational divide in how these groups prefer to hold gold. Almost two-thirds of millennials view gold ETFs as the best way to invest. In contrast, only 35% of Gen X think ETFs are a good idea, implying a stronger preference for physical metal among the older cohort. This suggests that millennials are not necessarily stacking coins or bars in a safe; they are buying paper exposure through financial products.
