The Albany Gazette - Alex Chiniborch on Why and How Family Offices Are Returning to Gold

For Alex Chiniborch, founder of Alluca Group, this renewed appetite for tangible value is no surprise. It's the logical outcome of a world rediscovering the importance of permanence in an age of speculation.

A Shift Back to Tangible Trust

Over the past decade, family offices diversified heavily into high-growth sectors - from venture capital and private credit to digital assets and tech startups. But as global markets have grown more unpredictable, many portfolios now hold exposure to volatility rather than stability.

"Family offices are not chasing trends anymore," explains Chiniborch. "They're refocusing on the fundamentals - assets that outlast market cycles and geopolitical headlines. Gold has always been that benchmark."

This shift isn't about nostalgia. It's about strategy - a return to what can be held, verified, and passed down. Gold offers what no algorithm or derivative can: the reassurance of true ownership and the confidence that it retains value across generations.

The Alluca Group Perspective

Under Chiniborch's leadership, Alluca Group has emerged as a leader in this modern gold revival - offering family offices a structured, compliant, and transparent pathway to physical ownership.

Earlier this week, the firm completed a $100 million transaction representing one ton of physical gold in partnership with a private family office. The deal marked the first phase of a larger 10-ton initiative, valued at $1.25 billion, and established a new benchmark for institutional-grade gold investment.

What makes Alluca's approach distinctive is its architecture. Every ounce of gold acquired under its framework is audited, insured, and custodied through top-tier institutional partners - merging old-world reliability with modern accountability.

"Gold shouldn't be difficult to own," says Chiniborch. "It should be as structured as any regulated asset class - but with the integrity that comes only from something real."

Why Family Offices Are Leading the Revival

Unlike hedge funds or retail investors, family offices think in decades, not quarters. Their goal isn't speculation - it's preservation. The move back to gold, therefore, is not a retreat but a return to principle.

This resurgence also reflects a deeper reality: growing distrust in paper-based systems and over-leveraged economies. Inflation, rising debt, and currency devaluation have made even the most sophisticated investors question where real value resides.

According to Chiniborch, the current shift isn't driven by fear, but by foresight. "The smartest capital isn't reacting to chaos," he says. "It's positioning for stability."

The Method Behind the Movement

Alluca Group's model provides family offices with gold exposure that is secure, compliant, and operationally effortless. Through multi-jurisdictional custodianship, insured holdings, and transparent reporting, the firm offers an institutional-grade experience that fits seamlessly within modern wealth frameworks.

Each allocation is treated as a partnership, not a transaction - an approach that has earned Alluca growing credibility among private wealth managers and fiduciaries worldwide.

"Our clients value discretion and discipline," notes Chiniborch. "They want assurance that their assets are safe, visible, and verifiable - not hidden behind promises."

This philosophy has made Alluca Group a trusted partner for those seeking to blend traditional security with modern oversight.

A New Definition of Modern Wealth

For Chiniborch, the return of family offices to gold signals more than a market trend - it's a philosophical correction. In the pursuit of innovation, the world momentarily forgot that true value doesn't vanish; it simply gets overshadowed.

Gold, he believes, is the bridge between heritage and the future - a foundation of trust in a system increasingly built on speculation. And Alluca Group's mission is to preserve that foundation by giving it structure, compliance, and credibility.

As the 10-ton initiative progresses, Alluca Group is not merely facilitating gold ownership - it's redefining what responsible wealth management looks like in the 21st century.

Because for those who think in generations, not quarters, real wealth will always weigh something.
