Outlook for Gold in the New Fed Paradigm – GraniteShares – 8.8.19

Summary:

Now On Demand.

In an age of digital disruption and technologized finance, can gold still earn its keep?

Join serial entrepreneur Will Rhind, CEO of GraniteShares and former CEO of the World Gold Council (GLD), to explore how gold can grapple with some of the most demanding challenges faced by portfolio managers today. We will discuss topics such as:

• How much has gold rallied after past yield curve inversions?
• What shocks are 60/40 portfolios vulnerable to, can gold address these weaknesses?
• What do Fed cuts mean for gold?
• Why are market titans, from Ray Dalio to Paul Tudor Jones to Sam Zell, turning to gold today?

Speakers:

In 2016, Will Rhind challenged himself to find a way to do things differently. As a 18-year veteran of the ETF industry with experience working at, building and running, well-established successful ETF businesses, he made a keen observation: investing just isn’t as exciting as it once was.

He asked himself, how do you bring back that excitement? As an experienced entrepreneur, he decided to answer that question by launching his own ETF company – GraniteShares was born.

Will’s focus on disrupting the financial industry has taken GraniteShares from an idea to a successful start-up garnering the attention of Bain Capital and other well-known ETF investors who support his passion to create products that will change the way people see investing.

Will spends his time outside of GraniteShares with his wife and three children. He’s on the Board of Directors of the Bath University Foundation, has a passion for classic cars, Manchester United, and travel – especially back to his roots in Aberdeen, Scotland, “The Granite City.”
