Amid the current global political and economic situation, we invite you to this timely and relevant webinar about the role Commodities play as an Investment Asset Class.

• An explanation of what commodities are – much more than Oil & Gold
• Why they behave differently to traditional assets
• How they can improve multi strategy portfolio outcomes
• How Commodities value comes less from income and more from diversification, inflation protection, and cycle positioning
• How they act as an Inflation hedge and a Diversifier to equity/bond risk
• What Drives Commodity Prices
