How to Follow Merk Investments Updates and Webinars

Updated

Merk Investments publishes its updates through three main channels: a newsletter you can subscribe to, on-demand webinar replays, and CIO Axel Merk's Twitter account. All three are reachable directly from the merkinvestments.com homepage, and none of the page evidence indicates a login or payment requirement to access them. If you want periodic written research, subscribe to the newsletter; if you want to watch manager commentary, use the webinar replay; if you want short, real-time market reactions, follow the Twitter feed.

Subscribe to the newsletter

The homepage carries a Subscribe To Newsletter prompt. This is the entry point for receiving Merk's written updates, which include items like the monthly Chart Book (the October 2026 edition is credited to Axel Merk and Darshan Bhavsar).

What to expect:

  • Input: your email address, entered at the subscribe prompt.
  • Action: confirm the subscription if a confirmation step is presented.
  • Result: ongoing delivery of insights and reports by email.

Note that the page evidence only shows the presence of a subscribe option — it does not state pricing, frequency, or whether any content sits behind a paywall. Treat the newsletter as the lowest-effort way to stay current, and check the signup flow itself for any terms.

Watch webinar replays

Merk hosts live webinars and then posts the recordings. The homepage currently features:

Webinar Date Speakers
Gold Miners: Bargains or Peaking Out? Held Nov 13, 2025 CIO Axel Merk with Portfolio Managers Peter Maletis & Jamie Holman

The replay is labeled Replay Now Available, meaning you can watch without attending live. This is the most direct way to hear the firm's reasoning on gold and gold mining in full, rather than through summaries.

If you want the firm's view on a specific theme, check the webinar archive before reading secondary coverage — the primary recording includes the portfolio managers' own framing.

Follow Axel Merk on Twitter

The homepage embeds a live Twitter feed from @AxelMerk, the firm's CIO. The posts are short, timestamped market observations rather than formal research. Examples visible on the page include:

  • A September 29, 2026 note on Fed speeches and shifting market odds for a rate hike.
  • A September 28, 2026 comment on the S&P reacting to a bond selloff, with the 10-year yield cited at 5.25%.
  • Two September 22, 2026 posts answering a Bloomberg Radio question about whether gold's volatility is typical — the answer being that low volatility should not be assumed as normal.

Use the Twitter feed for timely commentary and the newsletter or webinars for anything you need in durable, citable form. The feed is the fastest channel but the least structured.

Browse the full content archive

The homepage shows only recent items. A View All link under Insights & Reports leads to the complete archive, where you can browse past chart books, articles, and reports in one place.

A practical workflow:

  1. Subscribe to the newsletter so new items reach you automatically.
  2. Use View All when you need to look up something specific or catch up on older material.
  3. Check the webinar section for replays tied to topics you care about.
  4. Follow @AxelMerk for between-publication commentary.

What Merk covers, so you know what you're following

The firm states its mission as helping clients "achieve superior risk-adjusted portfolio performance," aiming for "truly uncorrelated returns." Its stated investment strategies center on gold and gold equities (gold mining). That focus explains why the newsletter, webinars, and Twitter commentary skew heavily toward gold, miners, Fed policy, and bond yields. If those are your areas of interest, all three channels are relevant; if not, the archive is still worth a scan before subscribing.
