At a very busy Master Investor Show on April 25th, 2026, one thing became very apparent: UK investors are increasingly focused on protecting and preserving their wealth in an uncertain economic environment.
Gold’s sustained rally has seen it reach another new all-time high in 2026, up 45% over the past year. At the same time, global geopolitical and economic uncertainty is rising, and Chancellor Rachel Reeves is raising taxes at the fastest pace in the world.
Football legend Sir Geoff Hurst has partnered with gold and silver supplier Solomon Global in a collaboration centred on building enduring legacies.
Gold and silver investors have, no doubt, been excited by the remarkable rally that these precious metals have seen. However, collectable gold and silver coins have an additional worth above the intrinsic value of their metal content.
Resolutions usually fizzle because they tend to pursue quick-fix, short-term results. Investing can be the same, and it can have detrimental results.
Silver has stepped out of the shadow of gold and has dominated headlines in the second half of 2025. While the silver market often mirrors gold’s moves, this year the metal’s dual role as a monetary asset and essential industrial material has resulted in it outperforming gold.
