Gold: Jaime Carrasco Due to rising systemic risk, I advise investors hedge their portfolios with precious metals. Gold is holding firm at levels inconceivable by most analysts one year ago. This is how I’m allocating clients funds into the sector to mitigate the associated risks: Building a solid foundation of producers and royalty companies, the principal mandate of the Special Opportunities Portfolio I manage. First, low-cost producers with good management, long reserve mine life and in geopolitically safe areas. Second, royalty companies with growing cash flow, production and project flow. This strategy delivers solid returns in companies financially levered to the PMs, with many raising dividends this quarter. Some allocation into developing producers and companies currently building their mines. This is a good way to acquire companies at a discount. Something always goes wrong, but this is where good experienced teams make a big difference. Again, research is key. Gold as money for cash management. Holding physical gold and silver is no different than holding a cash component. The Equity Income Portfolio is currently sitting on an equal allocation of physical and cash as I wait for higher cash flows from my dividend equities. Once I spend the cash, I will convert physical to fiat and reduce the position accordingly. Explorers, the speculative play. While these are fun and usually investors’ first choice in the sector, these should be the last consideration of your strategy. These are not components of my two portfolios, as their exploratory nature disqualifies them as investments. However, having a small participation in five to seven of these could yield some very rewarding results. In this department Canaccord is by far the best firm I have had the pleasure to work under, having led more 40 deals over the last year, with a large percentage of these currently in the top quartile for exploration success around the world. However, I must again emphasize that only play money be allocated. This strategy allows clients to benefit from the sector hedge, while avoiding the pitfalls of mining. Furthermore, working with a firm with a dedicated team in this area makes the process less risky. BNN.ca Market Call Mon Nov 2nd @ 1200ET
