Wealth Insurance for an Uncertain World
At Affiliated Advisors, we help clients add wealth insurance to their financial strategy.
In a world of market volatility, rising debt, and geopolitical risk, gold and silver serve a simple but powerful purpose: protecting purchasing power while positioning for opportunity.
Gold for Stability. Silver for Performance.
Gold remains the primary defensive asset — the foundation of precious metals protection.
But the performance story may be silver.
Silver surged 168% in 2025, and many analysts believe the move is far from over.
Recent analysis from Bank of America commodities strategist Michael Widmer suggests we are entering a pivotal moment for precious metals. While gold continues to anchor portfolios as a hedge, silver is showing signs of a historic breakout, with projections ranging dramatically higher.
The upside potential has captured serious attention.
When Institutions Move, It’s Worth Paying Attention
Morgan Stanley is now allocating up to 20% of client assets into gold and silver within its recommended portfolio strategies — underscoring the growing recognition of precious metals as a cornerstone for resilience and long-term growth.
When major financial institutions forecast higher prices and increase allocations, it raises an important question:
Should individual investors be paying closer attention?
The Silver Gap in America
The average American owns almost no silver.
Less than 1% of U.S. wealth is allocated to precious metals.
While many investors chase stocks, cryptocurrencies, and short-term trends, governments such as China, Russia, and India are aggressively accumulating silver.
That contrast should give pause.
What do they know that most Americans don’t?

Reframing the Precious Metals Conversation
Many investors still think of precious metals as “just a safety play.”
That narrative is outdated.
Silver offers a rare dual opportunity:
• Industrial demand from renewable energy, electric vehicles, AI hardware, power grids, and advanced manufacturing
• Monetary premium as silver historically accelerates after lagging gold
Silver isn’t just money — it’s essential infrastructure. It is consumed in industrial processes, rarely recycled, and global supply continues to tighten.
