Institutional Physical Gold with Defined Risk Profiles
The Wykco Gold Income Platform™ is an institutional, three‑class framework that converts physical gold from a passive store of value into a structured, risk‑managed exposure with an explicit focus on risk, income, and diversification.
Key characteristics:
-
Direct exposure to allocated physical gold bars held with tier‑one custody providers
-
Design emphasis on capital preservation, risk‑adjusted outcomes, and portfolio diversification
-
Three clearly defined risk profiles (Conservative, Moderate, Aggressive) within a single platform
-
Behaviour calibrated for resilience in stressed market environments, not only in benign conditions
This is the only Wykco platform that can also be delivered as a co‑branded, partner‑facing solution, with Wykco managing the underlying strategies and infrastructure.
Why This Platform Is Category‑Leading
01
Redefining Gold as an Institutional Building Block
The platform addresses the traditional limitations of gold allocations (no income, hard to size, and often treated as a static hedge) by providing structured access that is designed to integrate into institutional policy portfolios and spending frameworks, rather than sitting on the margin.
02
Three‑Class Risk Spectrum on One Platfor
Instead of a single, undifferentiated fund, the platform offers a coordinated spectrum of strategies:
-
Class A – Conservative: Oriented to capital stability with gold participation and tighter drawdown parameters
-
Class B – Moderate: The platform’s risk‑adjusted core, engineered to balance growth, diversification, and volatility
-
Class C – Aggressive: Higher‑conviction exposure for allocators willing to accept greater variability within defined risk limits
This structure allows CIOs and advisers to blend classes to express their own views on risk, liquidity, and mandate constraints: within one coherent platform.
03
Leading Risk–Return Design, Not Just Return Targets
The Gold Income Platform™ is designed with explicit attention to:
-
Volatility management and drawdown control across the risk spectrum
-
Low correlation to traditional equity and credit allocations
-
Robust behaviour in historical stress environments, including equity sell‑offs and rate shocks
The focus is on risk‑adjusted characteristics (how the exposure behaves across cycles and in crises) rather than on projecting specific return figures.
04
True Diversification, Anchored in Real Assets
Because the platform is anchored in physical gold rather than equity or corporate credit risk, its strategies are constructed to exhibit low to near‑zero correlation to traditional risk assets, with particular attention to performance in periods when 60/40 portfolios have historically struggled. The intent is diversification that matters at the portfolio level, not simply a different label on equity beta.
05
Structural Risk Advantages vs. Paper Gold
The platform is built on fully allocated, segregated physical metal and is designed to avoid many of the structural vulnerabilities associated with synthetic, derivative‑heavy, or ETF‑based exposure (such as rehypothecation chains and reliance on complex intermediary structures). Investors access the gold asset class through an institutional framework focused on custody, ownership, and governance.

The Gold Income Platform™ is the first in a family of Wykco Platforms under development across:
Not every platform will be offered on a partner‑white‑label basis; some will operate as Wykco‑only flagship strategies. All of them share the same design principles: institutional‑grade architecture, clearly articulated risk–return objectives, and exposure to structural change rather than crowded, generic beta.
