COO Michael Wagner Featured in U.S. News & World Report: 10 Best Investments to Watch in 2025

As markets continue to shift under the weight of inflation, geopolitical tensions and changing interest rates, investors are re-evaluating how and where to allocate capital.

In a recent U.S. News & World Report article titled “10 Best Investments to Watch in 2025,” Michael Wagner, co-founder of Omnia Family Wealth, shares his perspective on gold, one of several asset classes, including commodities, utilities, private credit and emerging markets, gaining traction in today’s volatile environment.

Gold has seen a notable rally in recent months, driven in part by rising global uncertainty. While it continues to serve an important role as a portfolio stabilizer, Michael emphasizes the importance of disciplined allocation:

“It’s critical not to over-invest in a commodity like gold,” he says. “Boom and bust cycles are common. It’s meant to temper the gyrations of your stock portfolio, not take over as the driver of growth.”

For families focused on preserving wealth and positioning for long-term growth, thoughtful diversification begins with perspective, an approach that continues to guide our thinking at Omnia.
