Npn, in association with Threadneedle Asset Management, presents The Case for Commodities, a morning briefing examining why active investment strategies will dominate.

Despite investor appetite for stocks currently lacking, population growth and increased industrial and consumer demand in emerging economies has helped commodity trading remain robust.

 

Historically high prices of agricultural products, diamonds and gold are an obvious sign of the inflationary pressure that the global economy is undergoing. Passive exposure to these assets has its benefits, but it doesn't allow active management's ability for investors to exploit volatility and inefficiencies in the market.

 

With speeches from respected market specialists and interactive discussions, this event will provide a varied perspective on how investors can benefit from growth in commodities.
