As the world transitions from unipolar to multi-polar, global geopolitics has hit a reset button for the first time after the collapse of the USSR in 1990.

This great reset can cause unexpected and deep bouts of market volatility, requiring a more actively managed multi-asset class approach to portfolio optimization. This great economic reset also means a highly disproportionate interest in sectors such as oil and gold, which are closely correlated (in unique ways) to economic activity, inflation (or currencies) and market cycles. For Indian Investors who seek long-term alpha, alongside some protection from inflation and currency depreciation over a decade or more, then global diversification (being pure plays, not available in domestic markets and not state-controlled underlying sector policies) through these two sectors is pivotal in maximizing their portfolio returns while hedging the above risks at its lowest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
