The Global Shift: De-Dollarisation’s Impact on UHNWI Portfolios
As the global economy continues its transformation, de-dollarisation has emerged as one of the most significant macroeconomic shifts of 2025. Nations and private investors are gradually reducing their dependence on the US dollar, paving the way for a multi-currency world where resilience and strategic diversification matter more than ever.
For investors looking to safeguard and grow cross-border wealth, understanding this shift is crucial, an area where Alpha Capital provides deep expertise and long-term vision.
Understanding De-DollarisationDe-dollarisation is not an overnight event. It is the result of countries and institutions seeking to reduce dependence on the US dollar through alternative trade settlements, gold reserves, and new regional alliances. While the dollar remains central to global trade, diversification into currencies like the Chinese yuan, the euro, and even digital assets is gaining momentum.
For discerning investors, Alpha Capital recognizes that this shift impacts traditional portfolio allocation models. Maintaining an optimal currency balance is now a critical component of wealth protection, especially for those with global exposure across asset classes.
The Currency Exposure DilemmaUltra-wealthy investors typically hold assets across multiple continents, ranging from international equities to real estate and private equity funds. As the dollar’s dominance faces gradual recalibration, unhedged exposures may influence returns and liquidity. Alpha Capital emphasizes the importance of reviewing existing allocations to assess potential vulnerabilities under the new monetary order.
Strategic considerations may include:
Reassessing global bond and equity positions for currency sensitivity.
Diversifying treasury and fixed-income holdings beyond dollar-denominated instruments.
Evaluating inflation-linked assets and precious metals to hedge against volatility.
Integrating currency risk frameworks into broader Financial Advisory Services.
