Commodities in the Supercycle – Energy, Metals & Agriculture

Despite all progress, our modern society remains bound to material realities: energy dependence and finite resources shape global change. The energy transition is driving rising demand for metals, while supply bottlenecks and investment deficits mark the beginning of a new commodity supercycle. At the same time, commodity investments offer diversification, inflation protection, and attractive return opportunities. At our investor lunch, the Picard Angst Commodities Competence Center will show how institutional investors can benefit from the global resource transformation – with 360° expertise from research and advisory to tailored solutions.

Precious Metals Champions Fund

Globally invested equity fund focused on companies that mine or process strategic raw materials such as copper, lithium, cobalt, and rare earths – key resources for the energy transition, digitalisation, and modern technologies.

Commodity Direct Investments: Ideal Portfolio Diversifier and Inflation Hedge

In contrast to commodity equities, direct investments in commodities exhibit a low average correlation to traditional asset classes such as equities and bonds. This makes them an exceptionally efficient diversifier for balanced, mixed investment portfolios. As a defensive attribute, commodities also offer a uniquely high sensitivity to inflation compared with other asset classes. In addition, among alternative investments, commodities stand out for their high liquidity.

In subscription
