Lyn Alden of Lyn Alden Investment Strategy explains the connection between the capital and financial imbalances the U.S. has with the rest of the world and its trade imbalances which are under so much scrutiny by the current U.S. administration. Alden argues that turbulence in markets, particularly U.S. assets, could continue, and warns listeners not to be exposed beyond their risk limits at a juncture that could be a historic time for markets and the global economy. Recorded April 10, 2025.

An investment in the VanEck Merk Gold ETF (“OUNZ” or the “Trust”) is subject to

significant risk and may not be suitable for all investors. OUNZ is not an investment

company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”) and

under the 1940 Act.

The request for redemption of shares for gold is subject to a number of risks

including but not limited to the potential for the price of gold to decline during

the time between the submission of the request and delivery. Delivery may

take a considerable amount of time depending on your location.
