rapidly growing customer base access to a broad range of innovative
wealth services, with a specialized focus on benchmarking returns
to gold and tangible capital and assets in efficiently diversified
investment portfolios.
John Butler has over 20 years of experience in international
finance. He has served as a Managing Director in research,
strategy, asset allocation and product development roles, including
at Deutsche Bank and Lehman Brothers. He has advised many of the
world's largest institutional and private investors in matters

growing network of research and multimedia content providing

"GoldMoney is far more than just an innovative, high-growth
fintech firm," says John. "It is playing a historic, transformative
role in restoring gold from a peripheral, alternative asset to one
that occupies its rightful place at the center of any robust wealth
preservation or capital appreciation strategy. I look forward to
working with Roy, Josh and the entire GoldMoney team to provide a
range of innovative and competitive wealth services to our clients
across the world, from those just beginning their upward mobility,
to those protecting their wealth and legacy. It will also be my
pleasure to contribute to the GoldMoney Insights offering with
Stefan Wieler, James Turk and Alasdair Macleod."
"John’s industry experience and relationships will be highly
valuable to our mission," said Josh Crumb, Chief Strategy Officer.
"He has worked in senior roles at major investment banks in
multiple countries and has developed products and strategies for
both institutional and private investors. Most important, he
understands gold's unique properties which make it an essential
part of any diversified investment process, and the only valid
international measurement to determine sustainable-long term
prosperity."
