Speakers

  • Ray Jia — Head of Research (Asia Pacific, ex-India) & Deputy Head of Trade Engagement (China), World Gold Council
  • Stuart Eliot — Head of Portfolio Management, AMP Investments

Moderator

  • Nathan Peters — CAIA Australia Chapter Executive, Senior Analyst, Macro Strategies, Aware Super

Discussion topics:

  • YTD performance drivers & the road ahead — What has fuelled gold's strong performance this year, and the key catalysts to watch over the next 6–12 months (central bank buying, rate expectations, USD dynamics, geopolitical risk).
  • Gold's role in portfolios — Strategic vs. tactical allocation, whether gold should be viewed as a commodity, a currency, or something distinct, and how institutional/investor attitudes toward gold are evolving.
  • Gold vs. commodities vs. bitcoin — Comparing gold's characteristics, correlations and diversification benefits against broader commodities and digital "alternative stores of value" like bitcoin.

This is a great opportunity to hear directly from practitioners on one of this year's standout asset classes, and to ask questions in an informal setting.

We look forward to seeing you there!
