Real Asset Investing – Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics
Please join portfolio manager Michael Underhill from Capital Innovations, LLC and Mike Kelly from Arbit Family Office as they examine how growth in emerging markets produces what some view as secular, long-term, global demand for real assets, the question facing investors is how to gain exposure to an uncorrelated asset class. Investors are faced with a challenging landscape that includes low gross domestic product growth, high-volatility global equity markets, a weakening dollar, and a low interest-rate environment that has spanned several decades. Purchasing power of the US Dollar has been eroded by more than 80 percent in the past 40 years. Investors also are concerned about inflation, given the ultra-loose monetary policy of recent years. Inflation is the hidden destroyer of future wealth.
