Stéphan Battistella, the Head of Middle East Business Development in Dubai, said:
"We see many compelling reasons to maintain an exposure to gold and industrial metals. Gold has a lack of correlation to many other asset classes, which makes it an important component of any diversified portfolio. Furthermore, after more than two decades of not having to worry about a sustained uptrend in inflation, the world is once more in an inflationary era. Gold has, in the past, been considered as offering protection against rising inflation. Within the industrial metals sector, there are many different commodities with very attractive long term fundamentals. Overall, costs of production are rising everywhere and the demand for industrial metals from emerging economies, such as China and India, has been met with limited supply due to underinvestment in new mines and exhaustion of existing mines over the last two decades."
