Four Core Risk Themes
Fiat currencies are openly entering the last chapters of their once illusory but now steadily declining purchasing power and global credibility. However, fiat currency is not the only risk we are concerned about. We believe there are four core risk themes every investor needs to be both acutely aware of and shielded against.

Investments Risk and Important Disclosure
Relative to other sectors, precious metals and natural resources investments have higher headline risk and are more sensitive to changes in economic data, political or regulatory events, and underlying commodity price fluctuations. Risks related to extraction, storage and liquidity should also be considered.
Gold and precious metals are referred to with terms of art like “store of value,” “safe haven” and “safe asset.” These terms should not be construed to guarantee any form of investment safety. While “safe” assets like gold, Treasuries, money market funds and cash generally do not carry a high risk of loss relative to other asset classes, any asset may lose value, which may involve the complete loss of invested principal.
