Adrian C. Spitters, known as The Son of a Dutch Farmer, is a seasoned private wealth advisor with over 37 years of expertise in wealth protection, tax optimization, and alternative investments for high-net-worth individuals. His mission is safeguarding financial futures through diversified, resilient portfolios built to withstand economic volatility.
Partnered with a leading independent private wealth management firm, Adrian and his team offer fiduciary driven investment management and comprehensive wealth planning. His approach prioritizes capital preservation, tax efficient returns, and investments uncorrelated to traditional markets.
Clients working with Adrian gain exclusive access to alternative investments, including private equity, private real estate, commodities, precious metals, and specialized tax efficient structures. His team also delivers corporate insurance solutions via mutual life insurance companies, significantly reducing tax liabilities while protecting business, family, and estate assets from financial risks, inflation, and economic downturns.
Adrian strongly advocates reducing exposure to traditional markets by emphasizing tangible assets, especially gold, as hedges against market volatility, inflation, and government interference. His wealth strategies include income producing alternative assets designed for stability over the long term.
Adrian’s perspectives on financial security were shaped by decades of market experience, including the 1980 housing crash, the 1987 stock market collapse (Black Monday), the 2000 tech bubble, and the 2008 financial crisis. Each event reinforced his focus on prudent leverage, liquidity, and investment resilience.
A recognized author, Adrian has published several influential books: Who’s Investing Your Money?, Ready to Sell Your Business?, Ready to Sell Your Farm?, and How to Sell Your Farm Successfully. His latest, It Starts With Gold, co-authored with Peter J. Merrick, examines how tangible assets preserve and grow wealth amid rapid economic changes. Adrian and Peter are currently collaborating on their next book, Last Asset Standing.
Through their financial newsletter, It Starts With Gold, Adrian delivers actionable economic insights tailored to ultra high net worth individuals, families, farmers, and entrepreneurs.
