⚠️CHART OF THE WEEK: Investors continue piling into gold
Gold fund net inflows are on track for a new record while China has never been buying more
Bank of America estimates that gold funds are on track for a record $85 billion in net inflows.

The key to a $1.3T opportunity
A new trend in real estate is making the most expensive properties obtainable. It’s called co-ownership, and it’s revolutionizing the $1.3T vacation home market.
The company leading the trend? Pacaso. Created by the founder of Zillow, Pacaso turns underutilized luxury properties into fully-managed assets and makes them accessible to the broadest possible market.
The result? More than $1b in transactions, 2,000+ happy homeowners, and over $110m in gross profits for Pacaso.
With rapid international growth and 41% gross profit growth last year, Pacaso is ready for what’s next. They even recently reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.
But the real opportunity is now, before public markets. Until 5/29, you can join leading investors like SoftBank and Maveron for just $2.80/share.
This is a paid advertisement for Pacaso’s Regulation A offering. Please read the offering circular at invest.pacaso.com. Reserving a ticker symbol is not a guarantee that the company will go public. Listing on the NASDAQ is subject to approvals. Under Regulation A+, a company has the ability to change its share price by up to 20%, without requalifying the offering with the SEC.
Reverse engineering this math, we could conclude that gold funds have attracted nearly $33 billion so far this year, or $7.1 billion a month on average.
By comparison, gold funds have seen ~$40 billion in inflows in 2020.
Meanwhile, Chinese gold ETFs added a record 65 tonnes of gold worth $6.8 billion in April.
