Euro Pacific Asset Management

Euro Pacific Asset Management

Euro Pacific Asset Management launched in 2009 as the investment advisory affiliate of Peter Schiff's broader financial ecosystem, formalizing a relationship that had previously operated through a broker-dealer structure. Schiff had already established a contrarian public profile through his book 'Crash Proof' and his financial commentary, positioning the firm as an extension of his deflationary, dollar-skeptical macro worldview. The firm is registered with the SEC and headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where Schiff relocated operations, a move that also reflected his commentary on US tax policy. The firm manages a concentrated suite of actively managed mutual funds and separately managed accounts, all reflecting Schiff's top-down macro framework. Core strategies include the EuroPac Gold Fund, which deploys capital into precious metals equities, and the EuroPac International Value Fund, which targets dividend-paying companies outside the US. The investment process is a direct reflection of Schiff's public thesis — favoring non-US equities, commodities, and hard assets — and operates with a value-oriented, long-only equity mandate. Specific holdings have historically included major Australian and Canadian gold miners, such as Newcrest Mining and Barrick Gold, as well as international conglomerates based in Europe and Asia. Team scale remains opaque, though the operational core includes a portfolio management group executing the macro-conviction strategy alongside a small distribution team. The firm's mutual funds are distributed through traditional brokerage channels, giving retail allocators access to Schiff's macro positioning. The business runs adjacent to Schiff's broader media and retail gold-dealer operations, which generate a significant footprint in direct-response financial marketing. Unlike many asset managers that segment brand and strategy, Euro Pacific's identity is inseparable from Schiff's public commentary and weekly podcast. The structural differentiator is the firm's tight coupling to a single macro-forecaster's intellectual property. The investment strategy is not a committee-driven product but a vehicle for allocating alongside one sustained thesis. This makes the firm's value proposition binary compared to diversified asset gatherers — investors are choosing to subscribe to Schiff's foreign-equity and hard-asset framework, with portfolio holdings that function as an extension of his public argument. The succession and continuity risk of this model is an open question for institutional allocators.
