Whitney George, Chief Investment Officer, Sprott Asset Management, will identify the major paradigm shift we are navigating post-COVID. This new landscape is marked by “globalization in reverse”; a trapped Fed juggling rising inflation, record debt levels and negative real interest rates; a new global focus on decarbonization and ESG; and a move toward more moderate politics. Maria Smirnova, Senior Portfolio Manager, will share Sprott’s 2022 outlook on gold, silver, platinum and palladium. This webcast will address:
- How China has Evolved from U.S. “Workshop” to True Global Partner
- Decarbonization and Rising Energy Costs
- Why Negative Real Yields are Here to Stay
- Why Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium are Attractive Investment Options for 2022
