Beverly Hills, California - April, 10th, 2025 - In a bold industry statement, renowned gold strategist, Luji Shofu, declared that gold must be the bedrock of every 401(k) plan against constant loss of equity. "Physical gold must be the foundational reserve asset and standardized infrastructure of any 401(k) plan," Shofu stated.

He emphasized that this era is marked by market volatility and double digits inflation. He also noted that assimilating physical gold into corporate retirement portfolios is a strategic move to preserve employees' retirement funds.

Shofu's insights come at a time when traditional retirement accounts have been on a 5 year losing streak. With 12 years of experience advising top corporations on innovative gold-backed asset management solutions, he warns that failure to integrate gold into 401(k) plans may expose companies to unmitigated financial decimation that will erode employee trust.

To alleviate concerns about high fees, his company, 401(k) Gold Group, pays the first 5 years of fees for companies, saving 401(k) plans millions of dollars in expenses. His call to action is clear: CEOs, Benefits Managers, HR directors and decision makers must rethink current retirement strategies and embrace physical gold as an elemental reserve asset.

This year, Oklahoma Magazine features real estate investor, founder, and CEO of Vesta Capital Marc Kulick in its special 40 under 40 issue, putting a spotlight on one of the state’s best real estate investment and property management firms.

Those featured in Oklahoma Magazine’s 40 under 40 class possess a unique combination of leadership in and out of the workplace, a history of philanthropic work, and diverse interests in their personal lives.

With Vesta Capital’s fast growth and a prolific volunteer record, Marc Kulick has established himself as one of the most innovative, successful, and dynamic young professionals in Oklahoma.

“To be a remarkable young professional in today’s ever-changing business climate, you’ve got to have it all,” said a spokesperson for Oklahoma Magazine. “To many of us, this seems unattainable. To the 40 young professionals profiled, it’s business as usual.”

In his conversation with Oklahoma Magazine, Kulick opens up about his 9-year journey from becoming a leasing agent to starting Vesta Capital alongside his wife.

Now, with over 300 skilled professionals working under him, Kulick’s firm has become one of Oklahoma’s major proprietors of high-value multifamily real estate, handling property and asset management, acquisitions, renovations and operations, and a portfolio of over 10,000 units across Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Wichita, and Little Rock.

Beyond his work with Vesta Capital, Kulick and his wife actively support the Tulsa Day Center, Ronald McDonald House Charities, and the Friendship Circle of Kansas City, as well as philanthropic causes like literacy programs and free loan societies.

Since its establishment in 2017, Vesta Capital has acquired over $816 million assets under management, overseeing all aspects of large-scale real estate investment including the day-to-day on-site property operations. As the firm continues to expand multifamily communities throughout Oklahoma, it hopes to provide richer, more fulfilling living experiences.

“Discover a living experience beyond the ordinary at Vesta communities. More than just property management, we’re committed to crafting vibrant communities that enhance your lifestyle,” said a Vesta Capital representative.

Your 401(k) is tied to the stock market, which means it’s vulnerable to crashes. A Gold IRA gives you an alternative—one that doesn’t lose value when stocks plunge.

A free guide from Global Gold Investments walks you through everything you need to know—from setting up an account to understanding the tax benefits.

Here’s why a Gold IRA could be the missing piece in your retirement plan:

Protection Against Market Crashes – While stocks and bonds fluctuate, gold holds its value even in economic downturns.

Hedge Against Inflation – As prices rise, gold retains its purchasing power better than cash or paper-based investments.

Portfolio Diversification – A Gold IRA balances your portfolio, reducing overall risk.

Tax Advantages – Depending on whether you choose a traditional or Roth Gold IRA, you could benefit from tax-deferred growth or tax-free withdrawals.

Choose a Gold IRA Custodian – The IRS requires an approved custodian to manage your account and ensure compliance.

Each option has its benefits, and the right choice depends on your financial situation and retirement goals.

You'll also learn about the various factors to consider when selecting a gold IRA provider. The guide recommends considering the industry reputation, storage security, fee structures, and buyback policies of each custodian before choosing one.

Hey everyone, you know what's really caught my attention lately? Gold prices hit record highs in 2024, and I'm seeing more and more people wondering if 2025 is their year to jump into gold IRAs. We've got a fantastic expert with us today to break this all down.

It's not a stretch to say that 2025 could present major challenges to the property market, though, for the most part, analysts recognize that the real storm, whatever form it may take, is a long way off yet. Still, opportunities for growth are still being explored, particularly in the multifamily market, which saw a substantial increase in 2024 of over 22%. Many analysts are still unsure about a crucial question, however: where will things go from here?

Answering that question without a crystal ball is a difficult task, of course, but that hasn't stopped Vesta Capital CEO Marc Kulick from putting in his two cents on the matter.

Recently, he sat down with GlobeSt to deliver his personal take on what to expect out the multifamily market in 2025, and explore the ways that his business has been navigating the market landscape so far. Let's explore what he had to say.

He begins by addressing the most significant challenges to growth in 2025 so far, namely the barriers in the value add market. As he explains, with rent already so high in much of the market, the opportunities for growth are fewer, meaning that more investors are turning to other opportunities to pad out deficiencies in that area.

In the face of this uncertainty, Kulick suggests that investors begin exploring long-term options with more guaranteed stability, particularly through varying portfolios to prioritize newer properties and recent completions. It is vital, he suggests, that investors focus on core competency as well, ensuring that even in the event of market turbulence, they have stable alternatives to fall back on.

The relative stability that has so far defined the market in 2025 may offer additional possibilities for exploration and variation, however. Kulick states that those interested in pivoting to new market sectors may find themselves in a unique position to do so going into Q2, though he maintains that stability should remain a priority.

A key point addressed in the interview relates to recent actions by both the federal reserve and the new administration; he explores the multifamily market’s reaction to the imposition of tariffs in key markets, as well as the continued rise of inflation. What initially appeared to be a fairly simple relationship between 10-year treasury yield and these factors may actually prove to be more unpredictable than Kulick—and other experts—had originally believed.

The final point covered in the interview relates to the recently held NMHC conference, and what investors may be able to glean about the future given the insights shared by attendees. In his estimation, the event demonstrated once again that the potential for growth remains high, though the exact reactions that investors may have to that potential is widely varied.

Kulick’s company, Vesta Capital, manages thousands of rental units and properties across 4 states, solidifying itself as a major name in the multifamily mid-market conversation. The company offers full-service investment management services supported by a team of over 300 skilled professionals, allowing the company to place a renewed focus on tenant experience.
