  8. Modern approach to risk and opportunity • Demand for Hard Assets has escalated with uncertainty around the global economies and extreme inflationary outlooks • Stealth inflation is devastating to precious purchasing power because of the long-term impact of chronic deficit spending and quantitative easing that devalues the US Dollar • Emerging and Frontier Markets account for nearly 50% of the global demand for commodities

  9. Debt outlook Developed nations Source: IMF World Economic Outlook, July 2010 Update, and IMF staff calculations and estimates. Note: Weighted average by PPP-GDP. The debt scenario assumes that the cyclically adjusted primary balance, corrected for fiscal stimulus measures, remains constant at the 2010 level (in percent of GDP). Nominal GDP is assumed to grow by 3% per year. The interest-rate growth differential (r-g) is assumed to equal zero until 2014, and one percentage point afterward. Moreover, the scenario accounts for the estimated increase in aging-related spending.

  10. Most emerging markets are lenders, not debtors • Demand from India, China & Brazil are creating a long-term structural shift for consumption. Multi-nationals from developed world (U.S., Europe, Japan) have become unafraid of growing abroad. See how GM sells more cars in China than the U.S. • Latin America today is less poor & more democratic than much of Asia. See how 39 million Brazilians were raised from poverty to middle class. China is Brazil’s biggest trading partner & investor. • India is the 8th largest economy in the world. Its GDP is approaching $1.5 trillion with a population of more than a billion; half of which are under age 25 with its fast-growing, educated middle-class.
