Family Offices Shift Focus from Gold to Mining Equities
What happened
Peter Marrone, chairman and CEO of Allied Gold, spoke at the Financial Times Metals & Mining Summit and Precious Metals Symposium 2026 in London. Marrone stated that family offices are increasingly buying gold first, before turning their attention to gold mining shares. Suki Cooper, global head of commodities research at Standard Chartered, noted that family offices are becoming more visible among holders of gold exchange-traded funds globally.

Why it matters
Marrone suggested that factors such as improved margins and production increases could create a “very significant, robust multiplier effect” in a rising gold market. This trend indicates growing investor interest in gold equities, which has already performed strongly over the past year.
