There are many different schools of thought when it comes to investment strategies. Some people invest based on stocks, others on cryptocurrency. And then some invest in gold. Gold has been used as a form of currency and investment for centuries, and it's still a popular choice today. How can investors own gold and include it in their portfolios? In this episode, Rusty and Robyn talk with Maxwell Gold, Head of Gold Strategy at State Street Global Advisors. Before joining SSGA in July 2019, Maxwell served as the Director of Investment Strategy at Aberdeen Standard Investments, heading macroeconomic and commodity thought leadership for its $3B U.S. ETF business. Today, Maxwell talks about the gold-based investment strategy, how gold can be used in an investment portfolio, and the risks and rewards associated with such an investment. Key Takeaways [03:36] -  What drew Maxwell to specialize in gold investments. [04:51] - Maxwell's outlook for the gold market for the rest of the year. [06:53] - Should gold be considered for a permanent strategic allocation and investment portfolio? [09:54] - How gold diversifies market risks. [14:00] - How investors can own gold. [17:29] - Comparing silver and gold investments. [21:44] - Maxwell's view on digital gold, such as Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. [25:55] - How Maxwell keeps his physical and mental health to perform at his best. Quotes [07:22] - "Gold is a unique asset class. It has a low negative correlation to stocks, bonds, and other alternative assets over time." - Maxwell Gold [11:47] - "When you look at gold and evaluate it as an asset class, it's unique and very distinct. It's hard to replicate the exact factors or risk exposure it provides compared to any other asset class out there." - Maxwell Gold [12:55] - "The real power and benefit of gold ‘inflation hedge' comes from monetary inflation and gold's ability to serve not as an inflation hedge per se but much more as a store value asset and ability to preserve spending power, particularly over the long run over several years, if not longer." - Maxwell Gold   Links  Maxwell Gold on LinkedIn State Street SPDR ETFs Gold on the Ceiling by The Black Keys Merrill Lynch JP Morgan Money For Nothing by Thomas Levenson Connect with our hosts Rusty Vanneman Robyn Murray Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts 1357-OPS-8/1/2022

Guest: Donald Amstad, Aberdeen Standard Investments. Developed economies are at a crisis point, the powers of unconventional monetary policy are exhausted, and markets are just beginning to wake up to this. That's the sobering assessment on the current state of the global economy delivered by Donald Amstad from Aberdeen Standard Investments His view is that when developed markets finally crack, there will be serious implications for every asset class and economy. However, those economies where monetary policy remains relatively ‘normal' will be those best placed to respond. In his view, the emerging markets have more levers to pull when compared to developed markets, where the money printing taps have been turned on and interest rate settings are near zero. The irony is that during the Asian crisis it was the IMF and central bankers from developed markets that convinced the emerging market governments not to print money and ‘take their medicine.' Amstad says that this was a cathartic process for these economies, and they are now looking on in bewilderment as the West has resorts to money printing of an unprecedented scale.

Guest: Michelle Lopez, Head of Australian Equities, Aberdeen Standard Investments. As soon as she was able to open a trading account, Michelle Lopez bought shares in ASX, seeing it as a monopoly business crucial to the function of financial markets.

The small cap fund that she has been managing for the past decade has returned 11.5% per annum after fees, beating the index by 4.9%.
